For the past several days my firewall is blocking a bombardment of intrusion attempts from this Level 3 Communications Inc. outfit.

This happens only when I’m here on Rendo (and nowhere else!).

What relationship does Level 3 have with Rendo (like is it the server for those offsite banner ads or something)?

 

Below is the info for just one of the IP addresses, but the info is the same for all the IP addresses that are trying to crawl into my computer.
