Hi all,
I've been having issues with my NVRAM filling up the last couple of days, and have been looking over all my settings (currently using 384.13 Merlin on an ASUS RT-AC68U), and just noticed this filling up my log. I'm certainly no expert but it appears that someone(s) trying to brute force into my router admin using TOR nodes....
While it appears that it's all being blocked properly (again, I'm no expert so I may be wrong), it seems like it must(?) be causing a lot of unnecessary traffic on my router, maybe even having a DOS-like effect, causing the issues with my NVRAM? Is there some way to block any and all incoming traffic from TOR nodes, so they don't even make it to my router in the first place? Or some other similar type of protection?
Here's just a quick copy of my log activity over the short time I looked at the system log area:

Apologies if this sounds noob, but I kinda am one in this area.
