I have an unknown IP pinging my broker every two minutes. Is this a known service I need to know about?
2022-09-10 06:45:32: New connection from 172.30.32.2:34706 on port 1883.

Hi walkerhunter,
I have not yet encountered this myself.
Hi @Tizian ,
I use the mosquitto broker in a domestic environment, integrated to HomeAssistant with no special configurations. Considering that the connection requests keep coming and from the same IP address I am starting to wonder if there is a misconfigured device on my internal LAN.
