Prometheus Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 I've noticed that whenever I run uTorrent (or any client I used before that) with torrents loaded and active, my hardware firewall/router gets a significant number of log entries about a dos attack:"dos attack type: bonk"How can this be connected to the whole thing? Could they be actual attacks, or simply firewall's misinterpretation of some connections?Other than that - everything works fine, the torrents come in and out, and the portforwarding is configured correctly.

Ultima Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 It's 99% likely to be firewall misinterpretation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prometheus Posted September 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 It's a hardware firewall I'm talking about, not some pfw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 It's not only PFWs that make mistakes either though, so if it's happening when/after running µTorrent, it's still likely misinterpretation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
