    Since the last patch update it now happened the 2nd time to me that my Avira antivirus program reported that someone was scanning my ports and had been banned for 5 minutes and that I could decide to create a rule for the IP that had done it.

    As I had no idea what IP that was I did nothing so Antivir blocked the IP for 5 minutes.

    This time I wrote down the IP:
    38.140.214.157

    The reason is after Antivir blocked the IP, Sota exiteed from the game to the menu with a connection lost error within the next minute.

    So - is that IP part of Catnip? Steam? And the report a false positive?
    Or mere coincidence?

    And the same again. Antivir reports scanning of ports, same IP, IP is blocked for 5 minutes and SotA loses connection and drops out of game to the menu and gives a [POTPIE] error.

    Antivir claims that the IP did scan those ports:
    55422 (Udp)
    55421
    52943
    52945
    52944

    The FAQ lists the ports the game is using. The IP address you noted is the game server address.

    Usually,m when the game is updated the OS Firewall software like Norton, msft etc. will prompt you to approve access and it wont complain about the ports.

    You may need to add an exemption into your AV for SotA
