Emule and bittorent tuttorials

I don't think it has worked.

Hi Rob, I'm using the same netgear router and also utorrent. Once I had set up the rules in Comodo I didn't get the green triangle either. What I had to do was open a port in the router's firewall. If you use this website

http://portforward.com/

it should take you step by step through the process.

If setting the Security Level to Allow All still doesn't work after you restart uTorrent then that proves it's a not a problem caused by CFP.

[RobCharles]

Do you want me to supply screen shots?

[RobCharles]

And right now the Triangle has now gone to red! eeeek!

would this procedure allow to run both utorrent and separate web pages smoothly at the same time? i find that whenever utorrent or soulseek is up, my web pages take MUCH longer to open up, sometimes even cancelling

Maybe because uTorrent or SoulSeek is hogging your bandwidth.  Did you ever think of that?  Check how fast the downloads are when that happens.  That's normal.  I get that also.

i am using bittornado, set it to use ports 26666 - 29999

behind a router & CFP. so portforwarding using CPF doesn't fully help too much.

a few questions...
1) What considerations should i have when behind a router? maybe the router "NAT-ed" my ports -> what i learnt looking at logs. but if i use Application Monitor, allowing all ports should be sufficient? no need to portforward using Network Monitor?

2) how should i configure the router -> currently used Port Triggering & Firewall rules. i think port triggering is safer right? but how should i know the trigger port all that? also the source & destination. say i have Allow TCP/UDP In -> source IP should be Any destination is My Com, then for Out ould be opposite. if in the logs i see it used TCP/UDP In/Out i shouldn't be using In & Out rules separated?

IceAngel89,

There are some steps you need to take to get this to work properly.

1.  Assign a single specific port for each protocol (TCP, UDP) in your p2p app, rather than a range.  Make sure to disable the UPnP function within the p2p app.

2.  Forward those ports in your router.

3.  In CFP's Network Monitor, create a rule (or rules) to Allow In those protocols to those Destination Ports.

4.  Make sure your Application Monitor rule for the p2p app Allows In/Out traffic for those protocols.  You do not need to specify ports there, unless your Alert Frequency is set to High; if so, you will need separate In and Out rules, instead of combined.

There may be some other tweaks necessary depending on your setup, but this is what you need to get started.

In answer to your question 1.  CFP has a layered security, where Inbound traffic must first be approved by the Network Monitor, then Application Monitor.  Especially with p2p applications, you do not want to try to bypass Network Monitor.

For question 2, see the first post in this thread.  It will give you an example of how those Network Monitor rules should be structured; just substitute the ports you choose for the examples given there.

First Sorry for my bad english

For my emule i made following rules

In AM i´ve got 2 times emule

Destination:  all
port: all
protkoll:  tcp/udp in

Destination: all
port: all
portokoll tcp/udp out


In NM i´ve got following rules

protokoll : tcp in
source: all
destination: my internal ip adress
source port : all
Destination port: my emule port


protokoll: udp in
source: all
destination: my  internal ip adress
source port: all
destination port: my emule port

Is this ok in this way ? I have a High ID but the download speed is much slower than i worked before comondo

Luigi,

You may want to look at CFP's Activity Logs for blocked traffic during the time that you're using eMule.  You may find that you're blocking various ICMP traffic related to eMule, and it may help to create some Network Rules to allow that.

there are only a few icmp traffic blocked, but in the log is a few blocked udppacktes with the discreption fake udp packets.

But in the meanwhile the traffic speed is all right

[Little Mac]

Well, Luigi, as long as it is working, then there is no need to break it...

I'm having the same problem with UDP packets.
Manual rules set according to tutorial.
Connecting to kad network works like a charm , but once I perform a search on kad i get just a few replies . Tried some keywords that used to get me 300 results , now I get 10.
At the same time Comodo logs show me a huge list of blocked UDP packets being them fake/malformed or fragmented IP packets.
I guess there are those 290 results i'm no longer getting.
Is there any way to get rid of this?
Tnx.

NVM , I missed the "protocl analysis" feature ... my bad.

I followed the suggestions in this topic regarding setting up rules

currently using utorrent 1.6.1

seems to work ok as far as downloading and uploading are concerned but when I go to one of the private torrent sites that I belong to - the site says: "connectable: No"

At one time it read "connectable: YES"  (not sure how I did that) but last week I uninstalled and reinstalled a few things on my computer and now I can't seem to get it connectable again.

what am I doing wrong??
