Public/External IP Addresses as Clients in Bandwidth Usage

lab
I'm concerned I set up something wrongly...  If I go to Logging & Reporting > Network Usage > Bandwidth Usage, I can of course see my local IP addresses (DHCP), but oddly also some external/public IP addresses in the "Top Clients" view. They barely cause traffic, but how are they CLIENTS in my system? [:S]

Nowhere did I set anything other than "Internal (Network)" as allowed network. I'm also unable to find the IP addresses in any logs (Firewall, Web protection...)

Firmware version: 9.314-13

Thank you for your help!

    If you have a DNAT, that will show clients from the Internet.  If your IP is an MX for email, clients will come from the Internet.  Remote Access, Webserver Protection, User Portal, etc.

    Point is, you will be warned by IPS or ATP if there's a problem, so you don't need to worry about checking up on every client with a public IP.

    Cheers - Bob
