I've got a netgear DG834 router with a SmoothWall box behind it managing a VPN.
I keep getting attacked by what the Netgear router thinks is a DOS attack. The biggest attacks occur in the mornings which result in disconnection from the internet. I've got 8 static IP addresses and as you can see from the log, all 8 are being tested using different ports.
There's more than one attacker;
The IP address of one attacker is in spamhaus blacklist for spam and seems to originate from France. When I try the IP in a web browser using HTTPS, I get a Microsoft Exchange 2003 webmail login page. If I try the IP in Remote Desktop, I get a Windows Server 2003 login screen.
Another IP address originates from England and is listed in an offensive database for "Unserviced Port Request or part of a DDOS attack".
I replaced the router with another netgear DG834 but it also disconnects from the internet during the attack. I also tried replacing it with a Draytek 2820n but this router completely crashes during the attack.
I'm aware there's attacks across the internet all the time and providing we all have firewalls, they generally can be ignored but the problem I've got is it causes the internet to drop so we loose internet/VPN/email until I can restart the router.
I've edited out the first part of my IP address for security reasons. I can post more logs if requested
