@hbac with all respect, TCP/0-1:0-1 means destination port 0 till 1 : source port 0 - 1 both TCP. So, TCP/0:0 means TCP (destination port 0 and source port 0).
My concern was, is, that TCP/0:0 would basically mean, TCP (destination port ANY and source port ANY).
But the test proved that this is incorrect.
Still I'm wondering why someone would add TCP/0:0 as a service?
Hmm.. Or perhaps the other way around, all IP address, (0.0.0.0), all source ports (0) and all destinations ports (0) are allowed.
To ignore or not to ignore, that the question. ;)
So just test it. Put it in a test policy and see if it allows or denies any tcp.
Hmmm..
@AEK Thanks. good tip. Honestly, did not think of it.
Okay. Done.
Once I added the "Web Access" services group the policy was being used, Meaning the traffic did not match the TCP/0:0 filter.
The question than actually still remains.
What does TCP/0:0 means and when will it be hit?
Source port = 0 and destination port = 0 ? If that is the case, what type of traffic, application, will that be?
Hi @WillemK,
TCP/0:0 means TCP destination port range from 0 to 0. If you only use UDP, you can simply change the Protocol Type to UDP.

You are correct for the first part. However, TCP/0:0 is the opposite of ANY. No traffic will use source or destination port 0 which means TCP traffic will never match this service. As I mentioned, if this custom service is used for only UDP you can change the Protocol Type to UDP.
