Nice, it could be, but I'm not so expert as to tell for sure. Can someone with more insight confirm? And possibly
provide a pointer on why it is so, who blocks them, which are the criteria, ...?
In fact I think they ARE blocked, because otherwise I would see "Connection attempt ..." log entries.
Here it shows: 72641 datagrams with bad address in header
