Should I allow port 5353/udp?
My ufw.log is filling up with these:
Code:

Should I allow that port?
Re: Should I allow port 5353/udp?
Allowing it would make the messages go away. It's mDNS traffic, probably from the avahi-daemon process. You can kill that process to make the messages go away, but it will come back when you reboot. It's not really necessary but I don't think it does much harm.
