    Chris,
    
    It is most likely a VPN attempt.  Could be malicious, could be a
    misconfigured client trying to reconnect/authenticate at a set interval,
    etc.
    
    The best thing that you can do is drop the packets and forget about
    them.  There is little chance that either ISP will investigate (or even
    respond, for that matter).  And, even though it's annoying, it isn't
    illegal to try and connect to a public system in most cases.
    
    Cheers
    
    Keith
