Worried? Nah, just curious. The FreeBSD firewall is about as secure as 
it gets. Mine is simple but tight, with all ports closed by default. 
Specific exceptions are made for responses only.

Most of my probes are from zombies on port 445, and that's a waste of 
packets on my machine, because that's a Windows file-sharing thing.
