I'm by far not the most experienced or knowledgable person on this list,
but I believe that allowing a port to connect to Quake 3 Arena is going
to be a huge security risk. I read somewhere that there was quite a few
known cases of security comprimise. Apparently whatever filtering
devices or firewalls that are in between are quite easily bypassed by
the nature of the data transfers. In simple terms, in order to allow the
game to be transfered, your end up allowing alot more to be transfered,
if someone with malicious intent is connected to the server. I'm not as
familiar with the game as I'd like to be, but if its possible, I would
suggest setting up your own server to play from internally, and leaving
it at that.

Subject: RE: Gauntlet Rules to allow Quake 3 Arena
Hi
Don't know about Gauntlet, but FW-1 just needs a rule from
[source]"quake.client.com"
to [destination]"quake.server.com" on port 27960 (default).
Verify what port the server is using, as they sometimes use ports
27961-3.
You don't need ANY incoming rules.
Make sure there isn't a rule above it that might be blocking it.
You can also check the logs to see which rule and ports are being
blocked
when quake starts up.
Regards
Duane

Subject: Gauntlet Rules to allow Quake 3 Arena
Greetings,
I realize the subject line may not "thrill" many of you out there, but I
would still like to be able to try to do it. I am currently using
Gauntlet
5.5 with great success. Every rule that I have had to implement has
been
relatively easy to do except for this one - I just can't seem to get a
specific set of rules to work.
Yes, it does work if implement a rule I allow ALL traffic, but I don't
want
to do that!
If anyone has done this successfully, or could simply point me in the
right
direction to find this information (I have searched for hours on the net
to
figure this out myself - and I hate asking such a lame question), I
would
greatly appreciate it.
Thank you.
