<li><b>Firewalled</b> - Your UDP port appears to be firewalled.
As the firewall detection methods are not 100% reliable, this may occasionally be displayed in error.
However, if it appears consistently, you should check whether both your external and internal
firewalls are open on port 8887.
firewalls are open on port 8887. I2P will work fine when firewalled, there is no reason for concern.
When firewalled, the router uses "introducers" to relay inbound connections.
However, you will get more participating traffic and help the network more if you can open your
firewall(s). If you think you have already done so, remember that you may have both a hardware
and a software firewall, or be behind an additional, institutional firewall you cannot control.
Also, some routers cannot correctly forward both TCP and UDP on a single port, or may have other
limitations or bugs that prevent them from passing traffic through to I2P.
<li><b>Testing</b> - The router is currently testing whether your UDP port is firewalled.
<li><b>Hidden</b> - The router is not configured to publish its address,
therefore it does not expect incoming connections.

I2P does not work well behind this type of firewall. You will probably not be able to
