Hello~.

I guess there must be a kind of problem with UDP exceptions of windows
firewall.
As I know, if I register some program to exception list of firewall, all of
network port used for itself would be opend. Is it correct?

But, In my test case, TCP ports used by exception program might be opened,
it's ok, while UDP ports never be opened. Therefore I must open the UDP port
directly in addition.

It's a obvious bug, Isn't it?

Please give me any comments.
