Re: udp packets
So you're using IP Masquerading for your firewall? In this case the problem is that IP Masquerading doesn't
handle UDP anything unless custom code is added. The reason is that TCP connections are easy because they
are just that, connections. UDP is connectionless so when a packet comes back in there's no way to figure
out who it belongs to. This doesn't mean this can't be done it just means that custom code must be added to
the kernel (this has been done for Quake, for example).
