Quick UDP Internet Connections - Allow or Denied?

Jorge Vidal

Today, how is this topic ?. Is it still recommended to block QUIC traffic (443 UDP and 80 UDP) in our firewalls?

    Originally QUIC was blocked by a specific tick box because it bypassed all web and application tests. Now I believe the ability to test the QUIC protocol has been added to the http/https proxy. 

    So whether you block it specifically or let the applications and sites that use the protocol be checked by your XG configuration is up to you.

    Me, I just block  it, but that is a hangover from restores and I do not see any application or sites fail because of the back.More importantly my wife does not complain about site access failures.

    Hello Jorge,

    For better control on web and application content we would recommend to block UDP:443, if you do not have any such restrictions on google websites and searches then you do not need to apply any.
