Is the machine running ipkungfu behind a router? If so you would only
expect to see rejected packets for ports that are forwarded to that
machine, if I understand correctly.
For example, I use an iptables script on this machine, which is behind a
router, but I have various ports forwarded to this machine. I use a
port-knocking system for certain kinds of access, so I see occasional
random or intended hits in the logs for the relevant ports, but most
packets originating from the Internet are dropped at the gateway ( my
router).
Of course if you are using ipkungfu on a dedicated router/gateway
machine then this is not the case for you.
