Check Point: Violated Unidirectional Connection with UDP Traffic

You get a ‘Violated unidirectional connection’ message in the logs with UDP traffic even if there are rules with ‘ANY’ and ‘ALLOW’ in the rule base.

In my case the problem was that I could not PXE boot clients (using Windows Deployment Services or WDS)

The solution to the problem is as follows:

  1. Add a new service. Select UDP and enter the port number (in my case, port 4011 for ProxyDHCP)
  2. Click Advanced and where it says ‘Protocol Type’ select None.cp-add-service-advanced
  3. Now add a rule to the rule base and add the new service we just created
  4. Install policy
  5. Done!
