Additional Notes
If you have connectivity problems:
Go at Firewall → Common Tasks → Stealth ports wizard and select
Alert me to incoming connections- stealth my ports on a per-case basis
Because of a bug you must change the rule 4 (for HTTP requests) to allow. I hope this will be resolved with the next updates.

If you have a router, you’ll need to configure it for port forwarding:
- Choose your router model (if it’s not in the list, choose one from the same company)
- Select the software (in this case, uTorrent)
- Now follow the steps in the guide

If you have just a modem, you may need to add a rule (above the last block all) to allow outgoing DNS requests such as:
Action = Allow
Protocol = UDP
Direction = Out
Description = Allow Outgoing DNS
Source Address = Any
Destination Address = Any (or your ISP’s DNS server for extra security)
Source port = Any
Destination port = 53

ahlefeldt rule 5 from above is to block further connections, so if it works without that rule, you must have something else that enables it to communicate - so check your config?..
