What is making the connections? Using the “view active connections”, start the GUI >Firewall >View Active Connections you get a listing of what app is accessing the network. This is a good starting point.

Hope this helps

Cheers

How is your basic set up of CIS?

  1. What are you configuration settings? Look under Miscellaneous → Manage my configurations what the active config is.
  2. Under Firewall → Advanced → Firewall Behaviour Settings → General Settings → how is your slider set? How is your slider set under Alert settings ?
