        Hello All ,
        Maybe I am missing (or have missed) something .

        Here is the log entry & dig & whois info .  Just kinda interested in info on this phenomenon .

I've received many SPI assoc. requests at my poor ol' router over the few years it's been online , Most of them are from S.E. Asia & few from Africa others from EU , But by & far most of them are USA based Webservers by their dig & whois info . A very small few are from org's such as FB . I usually just ignore these as some fluke or if I know a contact at the site I send them the info .

 1 )    Is there an orginazation that is mapping unsecured ipsec boxen ?
 2 )    Has or is anyone else receiving attempts at establishing association ?
 3 )    Is anyone recording these or interested in keeping records ?
4 ) Anything elso I would be interested in along the lines of assoc. attempts & why they are being attempted ?

                Tia ,  JimL
