OK, I am going to ask a newbe question here, I am new to Tiny and just learning my configurations so this should be an easy question. I have this showing up in my log. Do I need to allow my "System UDP inbound" setting to get rid of this and should I? Thanks in advance and forgive my newbe post.
1,[03/Oct/2001 00:09:25] Rule 'Packet to unopened port received': : In UDP, *******[0.0.0.0:68]->localhost:67, Owner: No owner
Uhm... I dunno. I've never gotten one of those messages, perhaps because I'm always running in high-security mode. If you don't like the message, make an explicit filter to block it, but I don't think it's an issue, since nothing is running on your Bootstrap Protocol port. (Which I take it is for network-based booting for newer BIOS-es)
Well, i don't know about 0.0.0.0:68 /67, but so far i've been blocking every udp on 255.255.255.255:68 /67 without any noticeable effect, so i may assume that it is safe to block yours. As for using Tiny, I found out that the safest way to work it is to block first and ask later. :D

Port 67 and 68 UDP are Bootpc et Bootps, Which are bootp client and bootp server. Also used for DHCP.
