Being "probed" from China?

[Pat Gee]

Hi All,

I was just wondering if anyone out there has noticed this under their System Logs with the Merlin firmware installed on the RT-N66U. ( I am currently running 378.54_2 because of the DNS refresh problems that everyone seem to be having lately) I have done some research on this IP address and it is coming from China. Any suggestions or help with this will be grateful. Thanks

This is your normal background noise that's been part of the Internet for years now. Quite often those are machines infected with malwares, scanning random IPs looking for more targets to infect.

And we have anything to do with China?

Block incoming connections from Chinese IPs.
