Hi all

As stated in the title, on my orcon bill it says I've gone over my data cap and quite dramatically. I'm not sure how this is possible when in previous months I fail to even use 50% of my 200gb cap let alone the 400gb that orcon state I have used in the previous 30 days. Has anyone else experienced this or has any idea what I can do? I obviously have a password on my wifi and a password on my router itself and there are only two computers in my house that are connected to the internet.

I've attached a picture of my usage from the orcon website if that helps at all.



Thanks in advance 
Shalen

Do you have your router firewall enabled? It's hard to tell what's upstream and what is downstream on that list but if it's upstream you're probably a DNS or NTP bot.

DNS and NTP amplification attacks are absolutely out of control at present.

No the user has disabled this from the factory default. (remote access is lovely)


That will almost certainly be the problem.  Folks please don't disable your routers' firewalls, they are there for a reason :/
