Routers IDS Blacklists Boards.ie

MoogPoo · 2013-07-24 05:44:57

Hi I'm with Smart telecom and boards has been inaccessible for the last few days. Cleared the routers IDS blacklist and everything works fine. Anyone know why this would happen? :confused: Also speedtest.net was inaccessible coincidently about 10 minutes after I rang smart about slow speed so I'm getting paranoid

What router do you have? Is it a Belkin? I ask because of this. If it is a Belkin, sometimes they have False Positive. I used to administer an enterprise IDS system and False Positives were a real problem.

Router is one of these. Must be a similar thing I guess yeah. Suddenly started blocking websites for no reason. Thanks

An Intrusion Detection System { IDS } only detects and reports threats is should not in any way block anything. This is what an Intrusion Prevention System { IPS } is for.
