Description
QUIC (Quick UDP Internet Connections) is an experimental transport layer network protocol developed by Google. Starting from 2015, some sites (For example Google and YouTube) offer connection via QUIC protocol. Google Chrome support it in latest version by default.
QUIC uses UDP port 80 and port 443 and often permits clients to bypass transparent proxies, in which UTM feature such as web filtering may not work properly on Google Chrome only, but works perfectly on other browsers such as Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox.
