2DS being pinged constantly on my Network
Every ms or so my 2DS is being pinged on my Network from IP's from all over the world.
What is going on and how do I stop it?
Thanks
Bill

It looks like some "bots" are trying to access your Envisalink.
Why on Earth would you port-forward your Envisalink's local webserver to the public Internet?
NEVER, EVER, DO THIS.

I was doing it so an app on my iphone (all secure) could reach alarm system and allow me to monitor my alarm system and arm/disarm.
Is there a better way?

Yes, use the Eyezon app from the Apple App store or Google play.
And turn off that port-forwarding now!

Public IPs are probed 24x7 by hackers looking for vulnerabilities, an unprotected port is a juicy target - like sugar water for hornets. The app provider should have warned you - perhaps post a review to warn others.
