Many ISPs have clauses in their TOS that prohibit running any server of any kind. So it may be the case that your ISP regularly runs sweeps to detect customers who are running servers, and this warning may be a side effect of that sweep.

I often used to poke holes in my firewall and run VPN or ssh servers that were discoverable using my dynamic DNS service. My ISP never got involved with that. Of course, that was a case of me running a server for my exclusive use, rather than some sort of public web or login server that would have randos sending traffic across my link.
