Network attack

(1/3) > >>

gashbell:
I got these network attacks while using FullyRouted Luxembourg. Is it safe?

PitBoss:
What is running at the port being attack?
If its p2p, then it should be ok as firewall tends to think that p2p is ddos or sync flood. So its a false positive.
Just to be sure, check what application is running at that port and configure your firewall to allow or block that port if no application is listening on that port.

gashbell:
I was at nyaa.
First time getting this kind of alert. Panicked for while :o
I'll update if I get this kind of message again.

pkrisnin:
Install http://www.malwarebytes.org/ as a secondary backup.  I use kaspersky but Malwarebytes detects things that kaspersky misses.

Slacker:
Chances of getting hacked behind the VPN server are pretty slim to none.

pkrisnin, in regards to gettting hacked, AV apps aren't going to help.

You need a type of IDS...

Also if you guys really care about Security & Privacy online, unless you have some Extreme Geek Experience, then I highly recommend if you want to keep using only Windows, then learn how to run Windows, or something like Tails in Virtualbox.

Keep most of your online activities in a VM and you can kiss problems goodbye! ;)
