Hi Scott,<br>
<br>
The blocking we are talking about is done in the IGate software and should not be configurable by the user. The server-side filters do not "filter" any packets going -to- the server and the IGates should be making their own decisions regarding what packets are gated to RF (server-side filters are -not- to be relied upon directly for this decision process as the server will provide more packets than should be gated to RF; this decision process is an IGate internal process).<br>
<br>
This thread is addressing software author concerns (maximum packet length, third-party packet formatting and blocking, etc.). In general, these should not be configurable by the user, novice or long-time expert. ;-)<br>
<br>
Hope this helps.<br>
<br>
73,<br>
