[Freenet-support] need help

[Peter M]

Hi I just would like to know if  its possible for a hacker to get into my machine thru the port that I have allocated for my freenet node which I have running on my machine I have the 036 version,the reason why I am asking this question is that I have zonealarm pro and it blocked a ip address that was scanning for open ports on my machine about 14 times so I put this ip number in the restricted zone which has made this ip not allowed to connect to my machine, then after that my firewall which is zonealarm has been blocking this ip address as it has been trying to access my machine thru the port that is been used by my freenet node so I don't know if its another node trying to connect to my node or its a hacker who found this open port while doing  a scan as he tried 14 times to find an open port and may have found my open node port and is and trying to get in can you please advice on what I should do. peter
