What model D-Link router do you have?



Internet Service Provider and Modem Configurations

Check the IP address you see in the attack at domaintools.com to see where that IP address is coming from.

If you have the SPI firewall enabled then this is the router doing it's job and reporting whats happening in the logs. It's stopping the attacks.
You'll need to contact your ISP to see if they can help you block these from actually happening or move your modems IP address your ISP gives you to a different IP address. However the attacker could follow you.

Good Luck.

The firewall feature is mostly automatic. You can set Port Forwarding configurations to help with ports getting thru from the WAN side. Theres no configurations for the firewall though. It's automatic. What happens if you temporarily disable SPI? Re-enable after testing.

What was the details of that IP address listed in the logs?

Are you using any custom DNS on the router or do any of your devices use cloudfare DNS, 1.1.1.1?

Do you have anything or a device that has services from this address?
Do you have a different router that you can test with?

I have the same issue. I posted it in reddit/r/techsupport.
Here is the link: https://www.reddit.com/r/techsupport/comments/as7w89/my_pc_location_is_incorrect_when_router_is/

@Commissar, have you checked your Speedtest? My Speedtest gives me different recommended server. Try to check yours. Im from PH but Speedtest tells me that recommended server is either India, Russia, Canada, or some other Eastern EU which causes the internet speed to slow down since its far away from where I am.

There is no issue when router is disconnected from the ISP Router-Modem. Issue only occurs when this same DLINK DIR 605L is connected to it and I just experienced this recently this Feb as well.
