Um. . . weird shit showing up in my router log

[Auspice]

I was randomly checking my router settings and updating things to work with my new phone and decided to check my logs for some reason.

I noticed a massive list of blocked TCP and UDP packets coming from all sorts of IPs. I googled the IP addresses and it says anywhere from Arizona to California to Korea. Should I be worried by this?

No. People are doing attacks by broadcasting and looking for open ports. Your firewall is blocking them. Nothing to worry about.

I'm seeing this more and more often; it's nearly constantly now and it's starting to make my connection chug and even reset my modem/router at times. Can I call my ISP to have anything done or is there anything more I can do other than hope my router and firewall keep these pricks away?

You could call your ISP they might assign you an new IP address which should solve your problem unless someones delibratly tracking you and trying to DDoS you.

I have peerblocker if that means anything to you. I see a lot of people try to access my computer from various sources and peerblocker just blocks them all together. It's amazing how many people try to connect/go through your computer.

Although if you are going to use peerblocker make sure everything associated with POL and FFXI or any other online game is unblocked, including Steam or they won't work!!
