fake_udp

I just upgraded to El Capitan and Little Snitch suddenly and continually asks me for permission to connect to fake_udp on port 55.  This seems to occur only when my Netgear Genie program is running. ...

    So two people both reported this and then it went to private message. Was there any more that publically went out? I was noticing this somewhere as well, and was hoping to get some clarity to where it was from. 

     

    thanks!

      I am also having the same problem. It started today when I updated Netgear Genie to Version 2.4.12. Before that Genie was no problem.
