wan inbound and wan outbound?

What do these mean? Is wan inbound from an outside pc? Therefore making wan outbound traffic from a pc on the network going out?

Reason I ask is that my router log shows a fin scan then my address and some other address, then ti says wan outbound) Now I assume that is my pc scanning something? Got a virus scan going now just in case.

WAN outbound = data going to the intenet
WAN inbound = data coming from the internet

In this case WAN (Wide Area Network) means any machine outside of your home network.

You can ignore what your router is telling you, home routers seem to think pretty much any traffic hitting the WAN interface is a DDOS attempt.

Thanks for clearing that up. So even though traffic is going from my pc to somewhere else, I can just ignore it? Virus scan turned up nothing.

Yeah, ignore it. There's always (well, nearly) traffic going out from your PC - you'd have no internet access if it was blocked for example.
