A good firewall will block all attempts to get around it.
Since each firewall needs to be set to allow your application to
communicate, it shouldn't make any difference whether you use UDP or
TCP/IP, or whatever.  The only way "around" that is to use files. But
those really aren't good replacements for when the other communication
protocalls are needed.

Yep. And the firewall will cry about it until the user tells it you're
an ok guy.
