Primarily misconfiguration...
As I was saying, a properly configured "edge" device would prevent your internal node from seeing port scans from an external source... All spoofing aside...

Are you saying my router should have detected the scans and not even forwarded them to any of the machines behind it?

Please elaborate....anyone thks.
Can't really say "should" since I don't know your configuration.

If it were my setup, I would like my "edge" device to detect port scans before traffic gets to my internal LAN.
