Windows 8 Network ports (UDP) on the firewall

Johncoool · Oct 30, 2019

I recently noticed that the firewall I am using on one of my devices does not block or filter UDP ports. It was stated on their website.
I like this firewall as it has great features that are more convenient for me.

I need to know how important are UDP ports.

I am at risk? Is it unsafe? Does this make the firewall useless?
Please let me know.

Important: yes
At risk: quite possibly
Unsafe: yes
Useless: Considering pretty much every firewall can handle UDP I'd say yes

That pisses me off because I used this firewall for years. I guess it is important to read all about a program before using it.

I would like to thank you as this is the 2nd time you provide me with assistance on threads.

Not sure what program, but the built in Windows firewall should handle udp
