Connection tracking helpers

Alvin
Hi

Just want to check what is the Most Secure setting for this




FTP

IRC (with DCC)

PPTP

TFTP

1) I did read the help file.
2) I kept FTP ENABLED because well even when downloading form a browser, it can be FTP. But actually I tested Disabling FTP and it works fine too.
3) IRC (with DCC) Disabled: Not need. But still keen to know when do you need?
4) PPTP and TFTP Disabled, simply not using.

    Hi,
    IIRC, ftp with passive mode needs the helper. Or maybe it's active mode?

    IRC: off unless you use IRC. Since IRC was used by a lot of worms, best to leave it off unless you need it.
