Ports responding on WAN side

Recommended Posts

So recently my home router keeps being port scanned from IP’s in China. Today I shields up to check my router and found ports 135,139 and 445 were responding that the ports exist. Can someone more than myself please advise?

if you have ports open, especially ports 1-1000 then it will attract a lot of attention from bots and other port scans. Close them.

Hi Just_a_user,

I have upnp turned off on my router, so I’m unsure how they got opened. I knew anything to do with SMB is bad on my WAN side :-)

 I have a Netgear router and have very little control over open ports:-( have been playing with the idea of installing ddwrt. What are your thoughts on this?

dd-wrt version 3.0 is currently in beta but maybe your router isn't available https://www.dd-wrt.com/site/support/other-downloads?path=betas%2F2017%2F11-16-2017-r33772%2F  Its also worth checking Tomato and gargoyle to see if they have firmware's for your device  http://www.polarcloud.com/tomato   & https://www.gargoyle-router.com/  or even   https://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/start?dataflt[Brand*~]=netgear  or  https://lede-project.org/

Thank you for advice.

Issue has now been resolved. Turns out my ISP is actively blocking these ports, hence open|filtered result. It totally threw me out when I changed my router and I was getting the same results. Spent all day on it before I found the answer.:grin:
