Weird IP Addresses trying to connect to my router?

So, I recently got a public static IP from my ISP . I was looking around on MicroTik's torch function which shows IPs that are trying to connect to my router and I noticed some strange IPs trying to connect to port 23 (telnet). Most of them are from India, two from China and one from Malaysia. I know that public IPs are much more vulnerable to attacks than private IPs.

I'm on latest RouterOS version 6.44.3 and had telnet feature on my router disabled.



Edit: Some new IPs that are also doing the same. 197.0.5.137 (Tunisia).

Edit 2: I added some bruteforce protection firewall rules to my router using this guide. Some of the above IP Addresses are showing up on filter address list from time to time. Most of the IPs that show up are on same block as my Public IP (103.69.X.X)

Edit 3: Seems like atleast some of these IPs were trying to bruteforce my router as they made into black list.

That's perfectly normal. Btw which host is 10.89.139.188?

Which LCO you are currently on? I am looking for decent public IP provider in our area.
Btw this is normal

That's my local IP. My isp provides public static IP but on my router I've to use 10.89.139.188.

@kanurag94 Im on ANI/VNet. They are the one that offer public IP in my area (other than MTNL ofc)

I see, so they don't directly assign the public IP address. Probably like a one to one NAT.

I set up a basic anti-bruteforce firewall to prevent a single IP from attempting to access my router too much.
