UDP out port 67

Checking /var/log/messages, I've found the following notification about blocking UDP port 67 out.
I actually went to CSF's configuration and allowed this port and the message was gone.

After 5 minutes I thought I might have risking my system without properly checking (though sounds like my server is the one which is blocked from sending data out), so I've removed the port from CSF, but would appreciate if anyone has any idea what this might be.

Thanks. Actually I saw that already, but unfortunately, couldn't determined what's the conclusion - should it be blocked or not?

Hi, you can block the port if you do not use DHCP

I have no idea if I do.
