I see a lot of system log records from different IPs:
13:22:16 pptp,info TCP connection established from 204.93.154.194 
13:22:16 pptp,ppp,info <pptp-0>: waiting for call...

Q: Why pptp-daemon continues to listen to the port?PPtP-server is not in the configuration.
Firmware version: 6.4

leaving aside that the daemon should not listen i suggest to filter everything you don't need. We have a few firewall rules at the input chain to allow SSH,HTTPS from our management network. on some devices we have rules to allow GRE or API from specific sources. At the bottom rule to reject for UDP and TCP traffic and everything else got dropped.

Hello,

I have similar problem with my cloudcore router 6.32.2
My input chain firewall rule to block these IP addresses are not working.
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?
