Some possible malicious traffic..

Looking at my logs, I have a bunch of entries:

Feb 13 18:38:06 pptpd[1235]: CTRL: Client 183.60.48.25 control connection started
Feb 13 18:38:06 pptpd[1235]: CTRL: EOF or bad error reading ctrl packet length.
Feb 13 18:38:06 pptpd[1235]: CTRL: couldn't read packet header (exit)
Feb 13 18:38:06 pptpd[1235]: CTRL: CTRL read failed
Feb 13 18:38:06 pptpd[1235]: CTRL: Reaping child PPP[0]
Feb 13 18:38:06 pptpd[1235]: CTRL: Client 183.60.48.25 control connection finished
Feb 13 20:27:39 pptpd[463]: MGR: dropped small initial connection

IP Address shows based out of China. My logs go back to the 8th and they've been trying daily since then. I did have VPN Server enabled, but I've since disabled it. Is there anything else I should do to protect myself?
