Router went down after outgoing traffic to my WAN IP address
I was on the forum this morning and my Router Went down and came up again 20 secs later.
LCP down
Initialise LCP
LCP is allowed to come up.
I get a few of these from time to time so don't worry about them too much - I just put it down to one of those things I put up with. This time I was reading Dangertux's write up on configuring NOSCRIPT ( nice write up by the way Danger ) and remembered all that stuff about ABE so I went digging around in my logs and found my computer had made an outgoing 'call' on port 80 to my WAN IP address just before the router went down.
UFW allowed the traffic out. My Router actually thought the outgoing traffic was incoming traffic and blocked it.
SOURCE 192.168.0.2, 46126 Destination x.x.93.28, 80 INBLOCK RULE MATCH
I'm curious why my computer would send traffic to my own WAN IP address. Anyone?
