    @johnpoz Thanks again john. Decided to by-pass the whole local network and plugged the internet straight into Wireshark. Couldn't find any DNS packets! Did a factory reset and assigned Snort to the LAN interface and all is good! Thanks for your help.

    Please reread your own freaking statements - you just stated this is NOT a ddos..

    " that we not talking here about DDoS or RST flooding as well."

    Your isp gives 2 shits that there is some noise..

    I don't even log such noise - because it serves no purpose.. I only log syn hits to wan, because it can be interesting to what is out there from a noise point of view, of what sort of shit is common out there... Like when that modem thing was happening and seeing traffic on that port, etc.

    Again if your going to trigger alerts on noise - that is on you, your ISP sure and the hell is not going to care that RSTs are being sent to you IP..

    I wouldn't worry about it. Any Internet-facing port that's opened is going to be continually "under attack." But that's largely why things like OpenVPN exist. If you're getting these connection attempts non-stop, then yes I might worry that you are being specifically targeted. But odds are it's just the constant, random scanning for open ports with unsecured services behind them. I run an OpenVPN server on pfSense too and get connection attempts like these relatively frequently too.
