Firewall rule blocking QUIC (port 443) also blocks NTP (port 123)

alan weir

I have a firewall rule to block the QUIC protocol. However when a device on my network attempts to synchronize it's clock using NTP, is is blocked by the firewall rule.

The firewall rule is ANY--->QUIC--->ANY----->Block (rule #6)

When my devices try to synchronize it's clock, is is blocked by the firewall rule which shows the destination port 123, which is obviously not QUIC

What is causing this? I had to create a firewall rule to allow NTP port 123 and place it above the "Block QUIC" rule, but still. Why would this be happening?

    I found what the problem was. When I created the Service definition for the QUIC protocol ports, I accidently entered the port range of 80:443 instead of creating a group with seperate ports 80 and 443, which ended up blocking NTP on port 123.
