Note that any NAT that drops UDP packets altogether will basically disable DNS and VOIP type applications or at least degrade the experience in serious ways. I haven't come across many such NATs recently.
- agwa 12y agoMe neither. I have come across networks that filter everything but a few TCP ports (like 80 and 443), but that's a matter of draconian firewall policy rather than a NAT limitation.
- minimax 12y agoI have come across networks that filter everything but a few TCP ports (like 80 and 443) Another point scored for TCP in TCP with an SSL VPN. :-)
- agwa 12y agoOnly if your TCP VPN is listening on one of the allowed ports ;-) (I do keep a TCP VPN running on port 443 ready to go for these situations, but UDP is always my first choice.)
