Firewall not working on 1.9.2.7 CR3c?

[bumper]

I have not seen this for previous versions, then again, didn't look to hard for it either.

Recently, I have noticed that a lot of traffic is still hitting my software firewall on ports that are not defined on the wl500g. Internet Firewall is enabled and the amount of hits is not too extreme (so I do think some attacks are blocked) but around 50 attempts on various ports. Shouldn't all these connectionattempts be stopped at the wl500g instead?

copy paste firewall logs please,
perhaps it is your own network..

[wiz]

maybe you have upnp enabled?

Hi Guys,

I've doublechecked, UPNP is disabled, Internet Firewall is enabled. My DSL modem is configured to send all incoming traffic to the Asus.

I have configured several ports 65530, 65531 and 83 to be forwarded to one of my internal machines. The firewall log (mcafee) on that machine shows (note, only a selection, there are several)

2005/02/18 14:11:05 200.84.227.77:11245 (200-84-227-77.genericrev.cantv.net) 192.168.1.150:1600 Poort 1600 (TCP)
2005/02/18 13:55:36 84.222.90.217:4662 (host-84-222-90-217.cust-adsl.tiscali.it) 192.168.1.150:1072 Poort 1072 (TCP)
2005/02/18 08:52:03 84.98.195.147:4662 (147.195.98-84.rev.gaoland.net) 192.168.1.150:4225 Poort 4225 (TCP)
2005/02/18 02:13:14 82.135.6.234:4662 (ppp-82-135-6-234.mnet-online.de) 192.168.1.150:3758 Poort 3758 (TCP)

Strangely enough, another machine, that has ports 80, 81 and 110 forwarded to it shows no entries in the firewall log whatsoever.

So, why do you think it does not work. You've enabled portforwards, that is why external hosts is able to communicate with your PC.

If I only forward ports 65530, 65531 and 83, shouldn't those be the only ones that reach my internal machine?

hm, run


iptables -L -vn
iptables -t nat -L -vn

before you panic too much, try the 'shields up' program at www.grc.com, do the 'common ports' and 'all service ports' test.

i just checked the first 1056 posts and all of mine are stealthed and i got the same firmware.....maybe mcafee is a little screwey?

[Oleg]

It looks like you've e-mule running on your PC and it's also possible, that external PC's have sent an answer to your query or whatever. This way wl500g accepts external trafic to make your PC happy.

Might this be related to the new "Bogus ASUS firewall" thread?
