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. ...

Hi all,

 

The cause of this was not specified and may have been an issue with El Capitan at that time. Please provide more information for us to isolate the issue.

 

1. What version of OS X/macOS are you using?

2. What version of NETGEAR Genie do you have installed?

3. When does the error message come up?

4. Please provide a screenshot if possible.

 

Regards,

    When I denied the connection the fake_udp would come back requesting access repeatly by going to another address starting with the 0.0.0.pick a number.
