I want to block an external IP from accessing my WAN. I have port 85 open for my home automation server and some server in Germany is interogating it this morning. I can't find anything in the Quantum router to do this? Can someone help? Thanks.

There are always going to be bots out on the Internet that will probe you for an open port.
So you will be playing a game of whack a mole.

It would be hard to block since as the previous poster said there will always be bots looking for open ports.
Would you happen to have an old computer laying around? I strongly reccomend setting up a VPN server to control your home automation server. It is normally more secure than leaving the system itself wide open to the internet. If you don't mind me asking, what type of home automation server are you running?
