I just upgraded to 26.7.3_8 I have some port-forward NAT rules to two computers behind the firewall the RDP port is open on one of them before the upgrade I had the option  Max new connections [c] set to 1 Max new connections set to 30 and the Overload table to virusport and that worked well the bots got locked out. After the upgrade I noticed in Live view that the port is flooded with bots same IP address multiple times the connection limit is not working? Someone in the same situation maybe? Something changed in the advanced firewall rule options?

Close that and put the service behind a VPN !!!

Totally concur, this is a service with critical security impact and thus must be protected at (nearly) all(!) cost!

However, the connection limit should still work.
