Radpop Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Bitdefender has blocked several port scans just after I've finished visit on nsane during last two, three months. IP addresses were from Netherlands, China...  What I should think about these scans?  🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 create a firewall rule blocking all inbound connection in all interfaces, all address, all ports  close ports, go to softpedia and get a free utility for that  create/block a firewall rule blocking all system connection but core networking dhc and core networking dns + software you use  create a rule blocking ping outbound  install ublock origin and disable javascript   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radpop Posted July 1, 2019 Author Share Posted July 1, 2019 I don't use my big brains for system control, brains have more important tasks to do. I trust Bitdefender which is the best antivirus available. 🤩  Some ports are already closed:    Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should i rather use Bitdefender for better security on my pc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalju Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 @Radpop Allow to ask if you are using VPN, proxy, some Dynamic IP or dynamic service or something similar. Or You have some software, what uses similar things to "call home", give feedback, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator DKT27 Posted July 3, 2019 Administrator Share Posted July 3, 2019 From what I can understand, you might be using a proxy or a VPN when accessing the forums. Still you are having this problem is surprising. Try enabling the adblocker and see there. Â Might be worth deleting the cookies too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Matt Posted July 4, 2019 Administrator Share Posted July 4, 2019 11 hours ago, small potatoes said: port scans, cdn.viglink.com background services, and tracking attempts (resources.infolinks.com and ajax.cloudflare.com.) Maybe should put on a condom before visiting these forums?    Viglink was one of my testing. We've always been using infolinks on the forums and nsane.down. Nothing is new about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcs18 Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 @Radpop  On an experimental basis you might want to try the following ad. blocking rule temporarily on all your browsers to see whether it resolves your issue::—  ||nsaneforums.com/discover^$domain=nsaneforums.com,important   Delete the rule if it doesn't work or if you feel that the site auto-refresh that updates latest posts is more important to you.

Radpop Posted July 4, 2019 Author Share Posted July 4, 2019 @dcs18 added rule to Adguard @DKT27 yes, i use vpn, Adguard, and don't store cookies over sessions  I tried nmap to scan my open ports, and it didn't find any.  Bitdefender sees so much: If I visit https://whatleaks.com/, BD warns of port scan.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radpop Posted August 24, 2019 Author Share Posted August 24, 2019 7 hours ago, halvgris said: portscans are done at random and especially if you have used bittorrent to download stuff  Maybe random but there isn't direct connection to any normal download or downloads, and I don't use any torrents. Libreoffice is only torrent I've ever downloaded, and this was done only because of testing Brave browser. Maybe boring but mostly I watch local TV or update Windows and other software.  Detected port scans originate mostly from US. Some addresses are blocked many times.  Easiest way to get rid of these scans could be to use another AV than Bitdefender, but it's too late to get blind after having seen light. 🤩 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam3971 Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 You could have a zero-day risk that is trying to communicate, which is blocked by the portscan protection inside BD, just a guess. Otherwise, as said, they are usually random but you or someone had to have put your public IP out there somewhere where ppl bite. The only time I see a portscan warning is inside the network where one PC is broadcasting to another, never the internet facing IP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizarreâ„¢ Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Check this out: https://whatismyipaddress.com/ip/23.248.219.93 Â It's located in the US, but using Chinese ISP. Too bad you'll need a subpoena for more details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radpop Posted September 6, 2019 Author Share Posted September 6, 2019 Four more alerts of port scans during 15 hours of my latest post, then nothing at all. I added second layer of tin foil... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
