In my (netgear) routers logs there are entries like the following, often multiple times a second since quite some time.
[DoS Attack: RST Scan] from source: 80.218.64.172, port 10646, Tuesday, September 29, 2015 10:33:01
The IP-Address is always the same and is registered to a provider different from the one I'm currently using (Information by ip-lookup.net). The port is usually not the same, but something in the 10000-20000 range.
My internet speed is really slow, but I don't think it has anything to do with that, and more with the fact that I live on the countryside.
- Is this something I should be worried about?
- Should I contact them (supposed source of the supposed attack)?
Edit:
I've read that torrent-services might be detected by the router as Dos-Attacks. I'm stopping all torrenting activites right now, to see if it was that.
More info
I have stopped all torrents, but these requests keep appearing.
I have now also gotten a new IP-Address, but soon after the router was switched on again, it started again. Same IP, same port-range.
