They must have you targeted, db. I was nowhere near that high!

I do notice that, once I have been visited by one or several, the next time
I log on with the same ports open they are the first to show up here.

I've set up a slightly wider range of ports in the router, and bump the
numbers each time I start MX.

Hell, it's all a game, isn't it?? ;-0)
