Hi Simon

Either/or behaviour like this can cause hard to understand
issues. e.g. i opened a hole in the firewall to let Alfred traffic
though, but it suddenly stops when the network gets big, because it
swapped to TCP, and i don't have a hole of that. Similar for QoS
filters, i prioritise UDP Alfred packets, but when it swaps to TCP
they are not prioritised and get discarded during congestion...
