If this check box is:

Selected:

The source port of the original UDP connection is opened for all hosts which want to connect to this port.

This can be configured for example for gaming: to allow the client to

receive information from other players of the same online game, loose udp tracking should be configured to allow incoming packets on the port that was used to start the communication with the server.

Cleared:

Only returning UDP streams belonging to the same connection are allowed.

Select this check box to allow the firewall to open ports for "games and application sharing" in order to use applications like Peer-to-Peer file sharing (PtoP), Internet Games, Web serving, FTP serving, WebCams, IRC DDC, and Instant Messaging such as AIM, ICQ, Yahoo and MS Messenger.

Select this check box to allow the firewall to act as a proxy server.

A proxy server acts both as a server and a client for the purpose of making requests on behalf of other clients. Requests are serviced internally or by passing them on to other servers. A proxy interprets, and, if necessary, rewrites a request message before forwarding it. For example HTTP Intercept.
