QUIC deny vs drop

L2 Linker

Just curious.

 

The recommended QUIC rules set the action to 'deny', but the first rule is for service udp 80/443 any application. Is there a reason this is a 'deny' and not a 'drop'?

There isn't a default "Deny Action" on QUIC, as it is (as you note) a UDP-only protocol.  I believe that the default Deny is equivalent to a Drop, unless you check the checkbox on the "Send ICMP Unreachable" option.

"For a UDP session with a drop or reset action, if the ICMP Unreachable check box is selected, the firewall sends an ICMP message to the client."
