I will admit my "newbieness" to firewalls as I have only been prevalent with
Raptor and checkpoint-1 during installation on the later and administration
on the former.
What uses UDP anymore? I haven't seen anything out there for it, but then
again I am new to all this. Anyone care to provide a refresher??
