Emule and bittorent tuttorials

Nice, it worked, i haven't played around with eMule yet but getting the last of Norton off my machine is a step in the right direction. Either way i should be fine now, i realized my IP isn't static, so fixing that is another step in the right direction.

Thanks much, keep up the good work

Hey tnx a lot!

I just installed Comodo and it was notifying about all my apps, with exception of emule which it automatically allowed to connect outside but not be connected from others, and I was with lowid. I configured like this first tutorial and now I'm highid

I was with lowid. I configured like this first tutorial and now I'm highid

Good, I'm glad to hear that worked without any problems, Hikari.

I just recently switched from Norton firewall to Comodo and I have a problem in regards to Emule. I set the rules for incoming as defined in the very first post of this thread. I was wondering if I need to change the rules  to in/out? How will I be able to upload if I don't?

[Little Mac]

Welcome, majax79!

By default there is a Network Monitor rule to Allow TCP/UDP Out from Any Source to Any Destination on Any Port.  This should cover your uploads.  From that point you just need a rule (or rules) in Application Monitor to Allow emule the appropriate Inbound and Outbound communication.  I would recommend them being separate rules, since you're using specific ports for Inbound connection, so it will match up with the Network Rules.

Try this.

If anyone can spot anything wrong in this, or if there is a better way to restrict a port to an app, but only while that app is running, please jump in and I'll modify the doc to suit.

Hey Ewen!

I read your attached tutorial - "How to set up individual applicaton on specific port(s)". I applied the tips to utorrent.exe under CPF Application Control. uTorrent is working just fine.

I also use eMule a lot. I wondered if I could apply the same logic to restrict ports used by eMule as well. I made such an attempt to restrict ports (TCP/UDP IN) with apparent success - both eD2k and KAD networks connect with HighID and eMule is downloading and uploading files. Guess I can't restrict ports (TCP/UDP IN) for eMule for obvious reasons.

The below is my resulting Application Control rules for emule.exe with screenshot for Destination Port. Please kindly confirm my settings are secure and correct.

***********************
eMule.exe Application Rules:
Action: Allow
Protocol: TCP or UDP
Direction: In
Destination IP: Any
***Destination Port: A set of ports: 8111, 9222 (examples only)
Miscellaneous: None checked
***********************

Thanks!!!

Hey concerned807,

Logic is logic! Just adapt what you did for utorrent and it should work for emule, or for any specific application.

cheers,
Ewen :-)

Thanks for confirming that Ewen

I just came back home and fired up my eMule. Suddenly the eMule log window is showing port errors.

6/8/2007 12:32:05 AM: Failed to open port 8111 (TCP) on internal WinXP firewall for this eMule session
6/8/2007 12:32:05 AM: Failed to open port 9222 (UDP) on internal WinXP firewall for this eMule session

Weird...in spite of those errors, my NeoMule seems to be working just fine.
- Tested ports using the official eMule test page...all TCP and UDP tests passed
- Got HighID right way
- Downloading and uploading just fine

I am unsure if the errors are really related to CPF. Since I started seeing after I installed CPF I posted here.

Should I be concerned? Beyond that is really going on? Btw Windows XP SP2 firewall of is disabled.

Followup:
Seems I found the clue...
With eMule added to Windows Firewall Allowed list, eMule will give the above port errors if Windows Firewall is disabled. Oh well...

Hi forum!

I came to this link tnx to a caritative spirit on WildersSecurity other firewalls forum

Short story:
While looking for a super-light and fast network security application to control outbound connections I decided to install CFP to give it try. It may not be the lighter or most resource friendlier firewall but it's an excelent alternative, better than more than one -expensive- commercial solutions out there while remaining free.

Everything was right until I started p2pering. The system nearly colapses when I launched eMule (eXtreme Mod 6), uTorrent, Opera browser with more than 30 tabs and Outlook 2007... nothing to say about Winamp that sounds horrible crippled. Please figure at that time my system was slower than an XT (yeah, with the 8088 cpu).

So, is there a way to tell CFP to don't check at all some [trusted] applications? I mean not just allow all traffic because it indeed requires some type of processing but just to 'watch to other side' when [trusted] network intensive applications are launched.

Any help welcomed, trnx a lot

Hi.  That's actually a different topic as can be seen in the ** FAQs/Threads - Read Me First **:

The feedback about version 3 alpha has been excellent cpu-wise (at least for XP), but I've yet to see reports while p2p'ing.

I use utorrent and I have a Netgear RP614V3 router with uPnP enabled and I have no problems at all.

Can someone explain the difference between port forwarding and UPnP? UpNp simply automatically forwards the ports when the app is launched and then closes them when the torrent client is shut down for security. That way you don't have a permanent hole opened up in the router. Other than that, how would comodo tell the difference between port forwarding and Upnp? What causes the problem?

Ok, also someone mentioned that utorrent only needs TCP. when I leave UDP out of the firewall rule I get tons of blocked UDP packet to the utorrent destination port. Are you sure that utorrent doesn't need UDP? My router's upnp is forwarding BOTH TCP and UDP. There must be a reason.

[Soyabeaner | Mr. Bean]

uTorrent needs UDP for DHT.  I'd definitely enable it for faster speeds.

In utorrent I'm not getting the "Green Triangle"

I'm using a Netgear DG834 Router and Comodo

In the services I have Utorrent on TCP and port 39047 same idea in firewall rules and Upnp in the router is disabled.

In the firewall is this:

Action "Allow"
Protocol "TCP"
Direction "In"
Destination IP "Any"
Destination Port 39047

In the Utorrent Client:

Disabled "Upnp Port Mapping"
Disabled Random Ports

Disabled "DHT Network"

What do I need to do to get the Green Triangle?
