Unusual and random queries about your port forwarding with xFI. What’s going on?
Hi! You’re taking precautions by disabling advanced security features, which makes sense given your concerns. The warning you’re seeing likely comes from your router’s firewall blocking suspicious traffic. It’s probably trying to protect your network from potential threats. Since you’ve switched to a new xFi modem and advanced security is now active, the issue might be related to how the port forwarding is being handled. You may want to check the logs or settings on your router to see if there are any specific IPs flagged. Turning off advanced security could reduce false blocks, but you should still monitor for unusual activity. If you’re comfortable, you can disable it temporarily and test again, or consult your ISP for further guidance.
If the server is well-secured, I wouldn't be concerned. However, if you don't often use the port, I would shut it down.
Ensure your SSH connection uses strong authentication methods and consider changing default credentials. Update any outdated software and enable multi-factor authentication if available.
