      Hey,

      I am getting thousands of this being blocked in the firewall log.  Is this some sort of UDP flood or something?

      Source: 0.0.0.0:68
      Destination: 255.255.255.255:67
      Protocol: UDP

        A device on your network is requesting an IP address from the dhcp server, Im guessing this is on your LAN? by default on this interface the firewall rules are created already to allow traffic to pass, if its on another interface you have setup check if you have firewall rules allowing traffic to pass.

          Okay,

          Thanks for this information. I setup a rule to allow this traffic to pass.

          Thanks
