I keep recieving DNS Requests from odd sites when running plexconnect, and I'm interested to find out where they are coming from. An example of the requests shown is below:
 
16:33:07 DNSServer: DNS request received!
16:33:07 DNSServer: Source: ('38.110.89.27', 33043)
16:33:07 DNSServer: Domain: wradish.com
16:33:07 DNSServer: ***forward request
16:38:47 DNSServer: DNS request received!
16:38:47 DNSServer: Source: ('74.82.47.36', 36828)
16:38:47 DNSServer: Domain: dnsscan.shadowserver.org
16:38:47 DNSServer: ***forward request
16:38:47 DNSServer: -> DNS response from higher level
16:53:48 DNSServer: DNS request received!
16:53:48 DNSServer: Source: ('80.82.78.105', 37963)
16:53:48 DNSServer: Domain: 1x1.cz
16:53:48 DNSServer: ***forward request
 
 
Any information would be appreciated, thanks!

Your DNS is exposed to the outside world, you should definitely avoid this (ie. did you configure a DMZ in your router? same ip as plexconnect host ?)

As bakman1 said you either have your PC in a DMZ or you may have opened port 53 in your router, either is a very bad idea indeed (not just if running PlexConnect).

Thanks guys, I'm a moron. I had set this particular computer behind a DMZ during testing for another issue, and forgot to turn the DMZ off again. Thanks for the help.
