I think you really have to put things into proper perspective here.
Quite often people scan a group of IPs looking for the last person to occupy
that address. Maybe they want to play a game, maybe something a little more
serious but the fact is... Your firewall is there to stop them unless you give
your permission.

The best thing to do is just chill out... System administrators turn off the
monitoring facility of firewalls once they are satisfied their rules work...
What about you?
