Security alerts ET P2P BitTorrent DHT ping request

[george]

Hello,

Yesterday I have installed deluge server following this tutorial ( for server part only link ) and in this morning I just find some security alerts from my Unifi app:

List of alerts: https://ibb.co/9ghdLMf

After I open the alert I can see some details.

Details from one: https://ibb.co/7NQP5Mt

For Counterpart Location I can see countries like: US, Russia, Hungary, Japan, Netherlands, Canada, Croatia, Germany, and the list goes on.

What is this? It is something I need to worry about? The server is new freshly installed (11 days) and until yesterday when I have installed deluge I didn't received any security alerts.

Thank you,

This is torrent traffic, torrenting is P2P, and those are the other peers. If you do not want to see _MOST_ of this, you can go to Preferences -> Network and disable all the Network Extras checkboxes.

However, you may still have issues with this whenever you are downloading or seeding, I'm not sure. Unifi tends to do some pretty intense firewall stuff by default.
