Firewall tab in System Log reports 10.0.128.1:67 ad infinitum

Guest

The title says it all; I have TONS of these:

block
Apr 19 01:21:59 WAN 10.0.128.1:67 255.255.255.255:68 UDP

I'm not even using a 10 dot network range. Can someone please tell me what these are and more importantly, how to get rid of them.

Thank you,

You are a cable customer. Your ISP uses addresses in this range to help administer the modems. Those logs are DHCP related.

Create firewall rules on the WAN:

Block- 10.0.0.0/8

Block- 172.16.0.0/12

Block- 192.168.0.0/16

Go to your WAN interface page and uncheck "Block Private Networks"

Wow, that was fast. Thank you very much! :D

Can you explain the block rule parameters, that is:

Interface, Protocol, Source, Destination etc.

Thank you again.
