Can somebody confirm that cablecom blocks outgoing smb connections from customers in Winterthur?

No, I actually can't. But I would very much appreciate it if it were the case. If you have a closer look at your firewall-log you will probably see why. CIFS is not a protocol I would use for exchanging files over the internet directly. I don't care if there's a vpn below - but direct CIFS is not what I would recommend at all.

I have a current malicious traffic of about 100KBit/s coming from some chinese ISPs... most time they try to accesss ports 138/139 and 445.
