When you show is such a screendump of an entire log window you can at least tell us the line numbers of the messages you are worried about!
When you do not use IPsec and you still get these messages (which are portscans to find who uses IPsec to use for later attack) your firewall is configured wrong.

Depends on your device. What router model do you have?
In some devices there is a default firewall which protects you. In other devices (CCR, CHR, RB1100) there is no default firewall and you have to make one yourself.

I advise you to update your device to the newest version (when you are running v6.xx remain within v6 so install 6.49.7).
After that, reset your device to factory defaults. The firewall will then be OK.

so that's why i asked you for the specific rule, well there is no way to reset this device. despite the different rules on it, this device istalled in a very buzy place.

In that case, buy a new and faster router, do as above, build the config again (do not touch the firewall) and replace the router at a convenient time.
Especially when you have "a very busy place", having such an outdated and underpowered router probably is not a good idea, and you can keep it as a spare.
