hello agriz,
what makes you think it is an attack ?
is this new server replacing a previous setup ?
are you using an ip address that belonged to someone else before ?
that server could have been setup to probe for the ip address you are using now
from previous usage. My firewall reports blocked traffic all day.
and your server is going to be a lot more attractive once 1 or more services may be running.
Blocked traffic does not mean cracking attempts perse.
however the ip address used can be traced
http://whatismyipaddress.com/ip/180.76.6.37
which shows that it is from china
and many cracks may seem to originate from china.
To prevent such from happening you could block ip regions that are often used to originate attacks from.
that means large blocks of addresses are being prevented from accessing your server.
The downside is that potential customers from those areas cannot reach you.
but if you do not have any intentions doing business with them this makes life a lot eassier.
Blocking ranges does have the downside that it takes up memory and performance to connect to your server.
