      Hello,

      is it a security concern if I let the UDP traffic on port 443 for the PFSense administration page?

      The reason why I'm asking is not only for the security concern itself, but it would push me to re-evaluate other rules that point to Internet...

        The pfsense gui isn't listening on UDP 443, there shouldn't be anything on pfsense listening on 443 UDP on pfsense that I am aware of, unless you installed some 3rd party something.

          @johnpoz thanks, so you say that as long as something doesn't work with that protocol, it should be fine, right?

            @jt40 if there is nothing listening, there is nothing to exploit - packet is just dropped without anything to pick it up.
