Asus AC-68U with Merlin 380.68_4. I've run Whats My IP port scanner and Shields UP port scan. I'm getting that these ports are open - 53 DNS - 80 HTTP - 443 HTTPS - 1723 VPN [PPTP]
I've gone through all settings and all tabs on WAN, LAN, Tools, Administration, VPN, Firewall and nothing is open, particularly Enable Web access from WAN. I do use a VPN client set to Policy Rules Strict and DNS Exclusive. I have Skynet. Entware, and AB-Solution on a USB drive. Samba is off in USB Application - Network Place (Samba) Share / Cloud Disk as are all tabs in USB application tabs.
I last ran these tests over a 6-8 weeks ago and nothing was open. The only changes recently are adding three Google Home devices and lights. Would those devices open the ports?
I've searched SNB and the web and find nothing that seems appropriate. I know one cannot shutdown everything, but I've seen and increase in bot scans from around 100 to 5-600 / hour in the last two days. Is paranoid justified or silly?
