Strange log !!!

Well there we have it. Now we get the final clue that explains the problem. Classic.

Call your ISP and get a new external IP address, then change and update your xxxx.subsonic.org redirect from the network settings in ss.

I have had the problem. It went away when the idiot who had my server set up on their device either stopped using subsonic or removed my server's details from his list.

In my case I did not have to guess what the problem was... I watched the traffic come in, watched it change to different IP's (after I tried to block the first one) and watched it consistently fail. I tracked the IP address back to the phone's data service provider and even tried to get them to shut the guys phone off, to no avail.

It's the nature of the internet. Every problem is not solvable... as I pointed out, this "problem" has multiple possible solutions, none of which are any good. It's a fact of life that, if you expose a service to the "firm white underbelly of the internet" (rotten.com) someone will try to exploit it.

Case and point: map the RDP (remote desktop protocol) port of 3389 through your firewall and into your PC. This gives you the incredible added benefit of being able to remote control your home PC from outside your network. Now turn on logon failure auditing and go to bed.

In the morning, most likely, you will see a huge list of failed logins in the log for the "administrator" "Guest" and other common usernames. That is because you showed up on some script kiddie's port scan as "open to RDP," and there is some program probing to see if you were dumb enough to also leave the password extra simple.

But does that mean that there is something "wrong" with remote desktop? No. How do you make the messages go away? Stop sharing the remote desktop port. But then you lose the abilities that RDP gives you...

Catch 22... open a service and someone will try to exploit it. To stop the exploitation attempts, close the service. Rinse/repeat.

NB: I'm trying to be educational in a funny, tongue-in-cheek sort of way. Please don't take any offense, as none is intended.

But what you are asking for is, quite literally, impossible.

muvipix,
If you're willing to switch to to a different tcp port your problem will cease. Make sure you keep the ron.subsonic.org address disabled to, I think that auto-redirects to whatever port you're running on.
