Was I Just PortScanned?

[ampreston85]

Okay, so I like to think I know just a little bit about things and stuff... Enough to be safe, or so I thought? So here is my issue. My setup is as follows. Main router connected to coax -> ethernet running to second router for wifi on my end of house -> ethernet running to PC. Just saying so people reading understand there are two routers that I've set up the following settings on. Wanted to host a Terraria server for my friends to play on. So I set up port forwarding on both routers allowing incoming UDP & TCP connections on port 7777. The cmd prompt style program that runs on my PC with the Terraria world shows that it's listening to port 7777 and I can see when an IP connects to play. Well about 20 minutes ago, with no expected friends playing, I noticed an IP connect. 91.197.234.23:51515 was the IP. I immediately closed the Terraria server program, and searched that IP only to find that it's been reported multiple times as a malicious IP. I immediately logged into both routers and changed the forwarded port to a random one instead. Do I have anything to worry about? Should I completely reset both routers to be safe? Request an IP address change? I appreciate everybody's help! Thank you!

You are worried about nothing...

Why do you say that? Things I've been reading say at the least, that it's at least something that should concern me...

There are random scans happening all the time on everything and its not an indication of an attack especially on non-business targets

ampreston85,

You've opened that port, on your router.. so effectively, you've opened a gate to allow anyone playing Terraria, to connect to your server. You really are paranoid about nothing.

If you're that concerned, don't host a server.
