Why is lansweeper detecting an IP Address at the internet?

[myssv]

Hi there, I'm very confused ...

These are my scanning settings:

and suddenly there is a new device from the internet

How could it be?  I'm no user of kabel-deutschland?

No explanation?

Is Asset Radar is enabled. Asset Radar listens for network broadcasts on any interface of the machine it’s installed on—including wireless, virtual, or secondary NICs.

If the server running Asset Radar happens to pick up traffic from a public‑facing interface, VPN adapter, or ISP‑provided network, it may briefly detect external IPs as assets, even if they’re not part of your configured scanning ranges.

A few things you can check:

1. Is Asset Radar enabled on any scanning server?
   If so, the detection may have come from broadcast traffic outside your LAN.

2. Does your scanning server have multiple NICs?
   Public, guest Wi-Fi, or ISP‑side interfaces can expose broadcast packets.

3. Do you use a VPN client on that server?
   VPN adapters can also broadcast traffic that looks like a new device.

4. Does the asset show any actual scan data, or just metadata?
   If it only shows an IP and no additional details, it’s likely just a broadcast detection—not a full scan.
