Hi folks,

I am seeing an IPv6-connected host on my network (which is on a HE.net tunnel) apparently being portscanned by an HE server at 2001:470:0:64::2 for about the last hour or so. It is trying to hit several different ports four times each before moving on and eventually repeating itself.

If anyone from HE can shed some light on what's going on here it would be greatly appreciated, I can provide the IP of the host in question off-list if needed.

Thanks,
-- Ben
Their contact is ipv6 () he net
Pretty quick response last time I contacted them.
The port scans are usually the result of the initiator of the tunnel activating a simple security scanner. As far as I know it works only on an address that is bound to their account.
It shouldn't be repeating itself unless there is some sort of error.
