This is what firewalls do, they filter traffic. Firewall logs can be complicated stuff and in most cases what you see is normal
If you are behind a router firewall, then most of what you see probably come from your own network
Also why I think win firewall is best for the average user, it does what it is supposed to do without complications
Google is your friend, just Google the names in the log to find info
