You must determine what the alerts are trying to tell you and make your decision based on that. The answers are different for alerts on outbound traffic than for alerts on inbound communications. Each alert is almost a unique situation by itself. When you have specific questions about specific alerts quite often you will find an answer on the Security forum here at DSLReports. When in doubt, deny the connection, if possible, until you can find out just what it is all about. Better safe than sorry!
