That is good news, especially considering I have UPnP enabled on my ASUS.
I was running uTorrent at the time, well known for letting outside servers know your local ip address, but that is behind a proxy server.
Would I be right in saying that I am pretty secure? I am visible to hacker scanners, because my WAN IP is easily found, but I am impenetrable with or without VPN. Naturally, I have my router firewall enabled, also DoS protection. Ping response is turned on.
