Re: There are a TON of "found attack from" on my security log!
You have no concerns there. As a matter of fact, blocking your WAN ping can cause your connection to drop. A ping is just a ping, nothing more. If you have no ports open, they just bounce.

Is that what a connection drop is?

U B Funny | It really is ok to have pings enabled. There is zero security concern here. |
