Hi, Generally you have 2 options: 1. To use ICQ over HTTPS connection, which means you should use Proxy server or permit https traffic out of your firewall/nat. 2. To use it directly. As you may use dynamic NAT, i.e. there will be not possible to have incomming connection on port 4000 and it will not harm your network.

The question is, I'm looking for a rule in my IPFW script. Running 7.2 stable - ipfw configured in the kernel without nat. Because after some googl'in, i read it's dangerous to just open port 4000 udp. Any suggestions ?
