| I found out what's going on. When Windows Firewall opens UDP ports for
an outbound connection, it opens the local source port to the world and
not just to the destination address. This port stays open to the world
for the duration of the firewall's timeout. I'm pretty shocked by this
behavior and it doesn't seem that anyone is aware of this.
