I guess it is 53. If so, it is widely discussed all around. Solution is easy: Drop it.

If your ip>DNS is enable, you should always drop external request on cto and ISP, open resolver attack is very common

Hello,

I have similar problem with my cloudcore router 6.32.2
My input chain firewall rule to block these IP addresses accessing my router from the public are not working and I can trace the IP in Connections tracking..
The IP is from china. I disabled vpn configs and the IP is still establishing connections frequently.
Please how do I put an end to this?

See my log

I assume you don't need the PPtP server running, right?
So this rule will be your friend:
/ip firewall filter
add action=drop chain=input comment="block PPtP scanners" connection-state=new in-interface=yourWANport dst-port=1723 protocol=tcp
You could switch the action to tarpit which I prefer as it binds attackers' resources...
Additionally, I'd add more ports (all common ports usually a service is replying on) to this rule - as those guys not only want to connect to PPtP but scan your whole WAN IP(s).
After this rule, add a drop rule for UDP connection attempts.

Sry for bump...

I had the same problem today at about 7am....

Aug/09/2018 07:02:03 memory pptp,info TCP connection established from 113.96.223.207

can someone explain to me first what doest this mean since i dont have open vpn here on router...does this mean that someone get into my router/network ?

also would this code help me get rid of these stuff in the future:
/ip firewall filter
add action=drop chain=input comment="block PPtP scanners" connection-state=new in-interface=yourWANport dst-port=1723 protocol=tcp

EDIT: looks like there is nothing to worry about, its could be just some scanning from outside

If someone is able to connect to that port, your router is insecure. Make sure to firewall all ports from WAN.

This should help:
/ip firewall filter
add action=drop chain=input comment="Block External PPTP Connections" protocol=tcp dst-port=1723
