My merlin-powered RT-AC68U was recently becoming extremely lethargic. After reviewing the logs, I found nearly constant brute force attempts at my OpenVPN server. Once I moved away from the standard port, that stopped. However, ever since the logs are flooded with these DROP entries.

I've set up a firewall rule using the GUI network services filter to block all WAN traffic on my 192.168.2.x subnet. This is where I keep all of my IP cameras for my Blue Iris network recorder.

That seem to be where these DROPs are originating, and it's probably entirely what it's supposed to be doing.

However, my concern is with the destination IP address - which nearly every one of them goes back to Amazon data centers... most of them to their norther VA location.

My cameras are Dahua, Hikvision, and Amcrest. They're all at least a year old, and none of them have any kind of AWS options. I've neutered them as much as possible.

So my question is, what could be causing these devices to be attempting to contact Amazon?

However, ever since the logs are flooded with these DROP entries.

Do you have logging of dropped packets enabled?

Or perhaps Skynet installed with logging enabled?
