Re: [vox-tech] firewall question

[Shwaine <shwaine@malevolence.cMAPSom>]

There is no need for UDP 22 and 80 to do normal web browsing and 
SSH sessions. The only UDP packets I allow on the input side of the 
firewall is UDP port 53 from only my ISP's DNS servers, since these 
are the replies to my DNS queries. I've read in a few documents that 
DNS may also sometimes use TCP port 53. I haven't seen that happen 
in any of my logs however. Anyways, you should be fine blocking those 
two UDP ports. My web browsing and SSH use go just fine with them 
blocked.
