Greetings.

My Draytek 2820N has started sending me emails with text as below. Can anyone tell me what it is saying please and whether or not I should be concerned.

Cheers

False positive.

Disable DoS protection because it is a waste of CPU time and floods log files as you have discovered. DoS protection on cheap routers is a gimmick.
 
I would not have thought a business product from Draytek was a cheap router. It was nearly £250 when I bought it.

Anyway I have disabled the email alerts now.
