IPSec NATT (udp4500) ADP false udp filtered distributed portscan Action

ATP500 fw v5.35

I have logs of ADP:

from WAN to Any, [type:Scan-Detection(49)] udp filtered distributed portscan Action:Drop Packet
Source: {vpn.client.IP}:4500
Destination: {wan.IP}:4500

That logs are with every VPN access connection (L2TP over IPSec with PSK - Windows native client)

I have already changed sensitivity of ADP scan detection to "low" ((portscan) UDP Portscan)
I have added allow list rule for IPSec NATT udp port (udp4500)

How to get exclude rule of ADP to natt udp port - I don't want to disable the "(portscan) UDP Portscan" rule. Or, why zyxel-atp identify vpn-connection as "distributed portscan"??

    I wrote this in the wrong category - it should be in the Security category - someone could change it

    Hi @jurusam,
    You can configure allow list rules to let certain IP addresses or services to bypass ADP flood detection.

    Hi @jurusam,
    In the log, the traffic hits UDP portscan. Try to inactivate "(portscan) UDP Portscan" in ADP profile > Scan Detection and monitor if VPN connection is working. Then give me the remote access information of this ATP500 in private message. We will check if it is false positive.

    VPN connection is stable (I think) - users didn't say that have problem.

    Today I have 4 vpn clients connected (Windows, Mac and Android) - working with RDP or http browsing of local web. With each of this connection there is log warning of "udp port scan" with action "access block".

    I tried with authentication of local ATP accounts or Win AD accounts - same thing

    If this "access block" would cause problems with the connection - I would disable the rule. But now there is only warning in ATP device. I prefer to enable this rule to protect against other true port scans

    The same thing happens to me with my flex500, I have to disable ADP for the ipsec vpn clients to work.
    In my case there are 4 clients that connect from the same office with their laptops using the zyxel IPSec VPN client.
    I have done the option described by jurusam and it does not solve.

    Hi @vsdanie ,

    Greeting Forum, We will have Allow List for ADP Port scan to avoid preventing known IPSec UDP packets.

    The feature is upcoming next FCS firmware April.

    Thank you
