the menu bar, and then

Shows the last 100
connections opened
through the firewall.
Connections are created
when traffic is permitted
to pass via the policies.
Each connection has
two timeout values, one
in each direction. These
are updated when the
firewall receives packets
from each end of the
connection. The value
shown in the Timeout
column is the lower of
the two values.
Possible values in
the State column
include: TPC_CLOSE,
TCP_OPEN, SYN_RECV, FIN_RECV and so on.
The Proto column can have:
TCP - The connection is a TCP connection
PING - The connection is an ICMP ECHO connection
UDP - The connection is a UDP connection
RAWIP - The connection uses an IP protocol other than TCP, UDP or ICMP
The Source and Destination columns show from what ip and port on the source interface
is the connection, and to what interface with what port number is t he connection to.
