Router Blocking Suspicious Connection - Tcon - 2025-11-25
So, I recently had fiber installed at my house and switched my Jellyfin server over to the new network, and at the same time, I got a new router. I encountered some issues because the ISP keeps the external IP address private unless you pay $10 a month for a public one. So, I had to have them assign me a public one. After that, Jellyfin started working, but I began receiving messages from my router stating that it had detected a suspicious remote location attempting to connect to my Jellyfin server and that it had been blocked. I've been getting this alert every few hours or so since Jellyfin went online. I don't recognize any of the IP addresses that have been blocked. My hope is that it is just odd behavior with how the ISP handles traffic and IP addresses that is causing the alerts. What do you guys think? Is it suspicious or anything to worry about?
