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. ...

I have 2 Nighthawk X8 AC5300 Tri-Band Quad Stream Wi-Fi Routers, one at work and one at home. When I connect mac macbook pro to the wifi at work I dont get the fake_udp request however I do get it when connected at home using the same computer. I am running macOS Sierra and Little Snitch and I ended blocking any connection requested by fake_udp untill I know more about this issue. Please advise.

    Hi hflorespr,

     

    We will provide an update on this thread once we figure out what the cause is.
