Opened Port. Intrusions?

smu122 · 01-08-2008, 03:57 PM

Hi, i just opened my TCP and UPD port of 14157 for my applications like utorrent and a few others. However, after viewing my ZoneAlarm Security Suite homepage security center, i realized that it started blocking thousands of access attempts every 10 seconds

I went to the alerts and logs to see that thee were all attempts to my opened port of 1415 from other remote computers. I realized my loss in my router has increased to and immense value as well (could be windows update). My question is if i should be worrying about the blocks, and should i add the port i opened to the firewall? thanks in advance

Sorry but our rules state that we cannot help you with P2P applications.

You are best off closing the port to keep yourself secure.
