Hi Guys
Someone is remotely accessing my VU
from
ppp109-252-72-225.pppoe.ru
I've blocked the ports on my WAN but can some tell me how they found me?

They just scan all ports until they find what they're looking for. Everyone who leaves ports open is vulnerable.
Every WAN IP address will be targeted at some time.

Can we set the streaming ports to using an encrypted port eg. https?
You need to set up a VPN.
i'm gonna flash my receiver from scratch just in case they have setup any f*** up cron job.
MiracleBox Prem Twin HD - 2@DVB-T2 + Xtrend et8000 - 5(incl. 2 different USBs)@DVB-T2[terrestrial - UK Freeview HD, Sandy Heath] - LAN/USB-stick/HDD
this box was not in the DMZ but i did open the ports, my fault completely.
Lesson learnt i suppose, still in the process of flashing box, lol
But i still do not understand how someone can hack you if you have your ports open. Now, when you open your ports you have to set credentials and (username nad password). So even if someone scans your ports or whatever, how would they guess the username or password?
In OPENWEBIF, there is a setting to enable "HTTP AUTHENTICATION FOR STREAMING" and that was switched off so even though the guy could not access port 80, he could access port 8001-8002 without any username or password.
If you enable "HTTP AUTHENTICATION FOR STREAMING" for streaming, the CLIENT MODE feature on my vu zeros stopped working.
close your ports, I set up for remote access to my receiver in the past year and was hacked in no time. Recordings on both my VU receivers were wiped by the hacker, going back several years, you can imagine how pissed I was
Amazing how many boxed show up with a quick google search.....
Its hardly a hack it you leave the door wide open.
