There's no common exploit on that port, or such.

Perhaps someone trying to get to the Q3 server on that port?

What time of day? Precise every day, or just now and then?

It's harmless just like the last time you made a thread with similar complaints. ;)

If your server is working and people are connecting I wouldn't worry about [blocking]* it. :shrug:

As long as it can send its heartbeat, and update from the pb servers everyting should be fine. :icon26:

PB servers use ports 24305 and 24349 IIRC.

No, DNS doesn't. It uses port 53.

Probably unrelated but the GoogleBot operates from 66.249.64.33:61139.

Care to elaborate on what you mean by that? Look up the port on any of the registries out there. If it was a port DNS used it would be listed a known service on which utilizes that port. The thing is, there is no common service which uses that port, including DNS.

This all seeing eye is something. I think I may have actually found a forum I am interested in participating in. Who is really good at Q3 and are there any tournys out there for $$$?

P.S. Software is my game.
