what app do yu have that talks to port 1900 ?


UDP 1900 is a "Chargen" UDP reflection attack. The DNS and NTP packets are
also from a reflection attack.


Sorry I was made aware that UDP 1900 is SSDP. We still block it :-) To my
knowledge there is no real use case for it and no user has ever complained
about that being blocked.
