My network has reset several times and I’ve narrowed it down to an apparent DDOS attack. Never the same IP source, all hitting the specific port I use for incoming qBt traffic, shutting down the client doesn’t help, router is getting 10-20 requests per second for idk, several hours. Is there anything I can do about this?

Edit: Thanks everyone, it’s apparently not an attack and my router just sucks aha. It was overheating so I took its coat off. My router’s log was filled with “DoS(SyN-Flooding)” messages, and according to Wikipedia that’s a DDoS attack.

    Close the open port(s) for a while and take a break? It’s bots, and maybe enough rejections will make the botnet move on.
