My FIOS wireless router should block all incoming connections. However, my PC's firewall log says that there are still quite some connections reaching the PC and get blocked. What is going on?
The setting for router firewall is
Typical Security (Medium)
Inbound Policy: Reject.
Remote Administration settings will override the security inbound policy.
Outbound Policy: Accept.
This should block all incoming connections. Why is my PC's firewall log saying there are lots of blocked connection with log entries such like IP 65.52.98.7 trying to connect to TCP port 58023 on the PC?
I have 2 PC, and they all have logs like this. The firewall program is McAfee Total Protection.
There is no DMZ host enabled.
I didn't enable any port forwarding except for the 3 rules which comes with router which seem to be for the FIOS TV:

The PC's all have private IP like 192.168.1.*. How can the outside computer reach the PC?
What is going on here?
Thanks.

The 127.0.0.1 is the internal IP address in your computer and the 192.168.1.100 is your Verizon set top box.

I know 127.0.0.1 is the loopback IP, but why this IP is appearing in the port forwading rule of the router?

Port 4567 is a management port used by Verizon to gain access to the router. It has to redirect that port to itself so that other applications do not try to use it.
