That's impossible.
As I detailed in another post, you can't do port knocking with UDP, because you have no guarantee that the server will receive the same sequence of packets you are sending.
On the other way, establishing a TCP connection requires that source and destination "shake hands" -- that is, destination must respond to you before you can even start sending data.
