Hello every one ! I' m a french user (without any skill in firewall configuration) running a Fortigate 200, 2.8, build 219 for a 50 persons company. Since I' ve moved from 2.50 to 2.80 (one week), I have noticed that there is many connections from my firewall (external link) to various IP (none of them are known by me, even with a trace route, I have no idea who they are), with UDP protocol on port 8888. What do you think it is, since the Firewall is not suposed to do anything on the 8888 port.... (and for information, we do not host web sites on that port, so we shouldn' t have any trafic on that particular port). Do you think it' s a virus/intrusion or somethink like that ? If so, how can I block them ? Thank you very much for the help you could provide Thomas
