My home network blocked over 5000 sketchy login tries in a single week
I was just checking the logs on my firewall (a basic pfsense box) and saw the count. It was 5,312 blocked attempts, mostly trying to get into my old admin panel port. I guess my public IP got on a list somewhere (maybe from an old game server I ran). The firewall just drops them, but seeing that number made me actually turn on geo-blocking for places I never connect from. Has anyone else seen a jump like this and what did you do next?

Your old game server basically sent out a "kick me" sign for every bot on the internet.
