are you running the room in 'offline mode' ? if not the 'port scanning' penalty could be due to the trash traffic sent to random ips/ports due to the attacks...

https://www.winmxgroup.com/PeerBlock.html

I have made a small tutorial and a blocklist up. Where all still testing it at the mo but your very welcome to run it. This should cut out some of the outgoing duff traffic, but not all of it.

@Lagerlout666 , yes the webpage you posted i did add that to list yesterday ,so i'm wondering to keep hosting / useing Winmx do i even need to use PeerBlock ? or will that just put more of a RED flag up towards my isp ? thx again in advance Zeke.

No i left it online because i got new Router and wanted members ect... to find room on Winmx list , that said i can understand why my isp filtered my internet. so if i leave winmx offline with or without peerblock i'll be ok to host my room ?

Correct, Offline mode would be the best bet at this time. You can manually add your room to this site

>>HERE<<

anybody that knows about the site will see your room after you have added it. Granted its not quite the same as a live channel list on winmx, but its the next best thing.
