Re: Firestarter IP detections?
If Firestarter is set to block all incoming connections, then you have nothing to worry about. Firestarter has blocked them.
Incidentally, this is one reason why I tell people not to use Firestarter - it scares people when they see the log of blocked connections and they think the Russian Mafia is hacking them. Gufw can be found under 'System - Administration - Firewall Configuration' and the underlying firewall is always running.
Not that you need a firewall if nothing is listening to incoming connections.
I try to treat the cause, not the symptom. I avoid the terminal in instructions, unless it's easier or necessary. My instructions will work within the Ubuntu system, instead of breaking or subverting it. Those are the three guarantees to the helpee.
