ICQ - IPFW

[Ivailo Tanusheff]

Hi,

Generally you have 2 options:
1. To use ICQ over HTTPS connection, which means you should use Proxy 
server or permit https traffic out of your firewall/nat.
2. To use it directly. As you may use dynamic NAT, i.e. there will be not 
possible to have incomming connection on port 4000 and it will not harm 
your network.

ICQ - IPFW






Hello,

I want to start using ICQ (never did before).
The question is, I'm looking for a rule in my IPFW script.
Running 7.2 stable - ipfw configured in the kernel without nat.
Because after some googl'in, i read it's dangerous to just open port
4000 udp.
Any suggestions ?

Regards,

Roy.
