There can be a lot of       activity on port 80 and 443 as well. I don't have anything listening on 22, 23       or 25 that that doesn't bother me. I have my telnet port listening on port       2030 just to avoid all that.              If someone was bothering you I'd block them at the firewall.              > Is there a way in inet.bbb to bloxk the ip from all protocols or do I       > manually have to add each one              You can also block IP's at the bottom of the inet.bbb but I think you need to       block each service you have open and want blocked.       --- BBBS/Li6 v4.10 Toy-5        * Origin: The Rusty MailBox - Penticton, BC Canada (1:153/757.3)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 14/0 90/1 105/81 120/340 123/131 129/305 226/30 227/114       SEEN-BY: 229/424 426 452 550 700 1016 1017 240/5832 249/206 317 282/1038       SEEN-BY: 292/854 298/25 26 301/1 317/3 322/757 342/200 633/280       PATH: 153/757 221/6 301/1 229/426 317/3 298/25 14/0 229/426           |
