(I have added the input rejection rule on <netcore_backdoor_port>)

That's pointless because a) as pointed out way back in post #2 your router is not susceptible to that attack, b) there is already a drop all rule that would match that anyway, and c) AiProtection was already blocking those in the kernel. But if it makes you feel better...

I registered for and used the DDNS at asuscomm.com when I used AiCloud, AiDisk, etc. with my then new Asus router. I also had my security cams accessible from the WAN.
But there were many dubious people trying to access my network via my IP, so I disabled WAN access.
I tested with GRC ShieldsUp, and the IP looks secure now.
My DDNS entry still resolves to my current WAN IP address, but AiProtection is not reporting exploit attempts like it used to.

So I'd say the Asus DDNS lookup was not the security loophole; leaving my IP address accessible from the WAN was.
