Hello @AeoliusWind !
Can you detail the problem?

Also, if the situation is annoying, I would recommend contacting the Technical Support Teams, as more information might be required to troubleshoot this. The engineers might request logs from the machine and if these do not reveal the root cause, a remote session could be necessary as well.

There is not much internet access from the PC. I only connect in remotely to do work. The PC is connected to a router that is accessible through a dynamic DNS. BitDefender seems to block these events well as I can see the blocked threats events accumulated in the background. It gets nearly like 3 to 4 attacks everyday. Is this normal?
I also find that once I switch on the VPN, these attacks simply go away.

Is there a way to find out who/where the brute force attack is coming from?
I also would like to know how I can more accurately identify the device that keeps trying to access my wifi network (I discovered this through bitdefender home scanner).
Is there a paid subscription for home scanner because I think the detailed information on the intruding device would be more available on home scanner. Is there a mobile app version
To summarize:
1. Can I find out where the attack is coming from
2. Can Bitdefender home scanner tell me which device it is in more detail (i.e. if it is a phone what type of phone or computer it is) because the wifi range means the unknown device is literally within 10 meters.
3. Is there a paid subscription version of home scanner. Is there a mobile app version of home scanner because there is a seperate on for pc.
Thanks in advance

@JMVOX can you share with us more details in regards to the attack in question?
To avoid any confusion, it has to be said that Home Scanner does not warn about a bruteforce that is happening, but about a vulnerability that can lead to it. We need a screenshot for this, to know exactly what the scenario is. There is no paid version of the Home Scanner, but a Bitdefender subscription will provide the relevant defenses.
Home Scanner will show you the type of device.
