      Is it possible to allow a program to pass through based on it's UUID or executable name? I am trying to configure a couple of PFSense firewalls to allow MSN Live Messenger traffic through for video chat.

      Microsoft's website claims that Live Messenger uses a form of RPC and requires ports 1024-65535 to be open. For security reasons I'd rather not leave that many ports open be they incoming or outgoing. Is there any way I can specify Live Messenger specifically to be allowed to open any port it needs to communicate?

      Thanks.

        As far as i remember MSN uses UPNP automatically if it finds an UPNP cappable device.
        You could try the UPNP of pfSense.

        If you have security concerns: the UPNP of pfSense allows you to specify what IP's can use which ports.

        We do what we must, because we can.
