Nice big old port scan. Brand new server too. Just a few days old so there is nothing to find. Don't worry I contacted AWS. Stay safe out there.

If I showed you my WAN-side firewall logs you'd have a panic attack. I have a /29 block and about 10 scans tap one IP or another every second. It's part of being on the internet.

Your domestic home router experiences the exact same thing. Every moment of every day.

Will you report every scan? Every Chinese IP? Every US IP? It's completely common place to have someone 'knock on the door'.

Get off IPv4 anyway and onto IPv6. Good luck to them finding you by chance in there.

I ran a Tor relay on one of my spare servers for a while, and my god did that thing get port scanned. Even two years after I stopped hosting the relay, it was still getting pinged every 5-10 seconds (while my other servers tend to get pinged "only" once ever 20-30 seconds).
