This is hard to set up UDP filters, and as most irritating thing happen
with 135UDP on windows (like messenger advertising) it's a very bad way
to set up a firewall. Also this filter requieres a restart of the system
for each test, and has no connection tracking features (rejects pakets
you requested) and does not give you application level protections
(your recently downloaded trojan horse will go to shop on internet freely).
it's a pity to have a so unusable filter on windows.
