Thank you Vettetech
now i have. still 0 incoming connections. I have previously used Ragwind set if rules .
on prevous Bittorrent client I 'd used before, this problem would be I’m stealthy or hidden from other users who wish to connect to me. I believe somehow Comodo is barring such connections.
Now , i 'm assuming all who uses comodo and utorrent have no issues with inbound connections? I’ve read thru the thread here and it seems my problem is unique. there must be something by default that i have tweaked that shuts out inbound traffic.
oh , and i have switched off Windows personal firewall
Sorry for me its easy cause I am behind a hardware firewall. All I did was port forward my hardware firewall then made uTorrent trusted under Comodo. Have you tried deleting all your global rules then click apply. Run the stealth port wizard for the P2P connection. Then run it again for the block all incoming connections. Be sure the P2P is on top. Remove uTorrent from the firewall and D+. Start up uTorrent. Close out uTorrent Completely. Go into Comodo and make uTorrent trusted under the firewall and D+.
Ok i 'd done a " litmus test " - turned off comodo completely and runs a port scan on my Utorrent port which is running and listening . I did this by using GRC shields up probe and using the default Utorrent port check. The results still show my port is stealthy or not being forwarded properly.
The icon on my taskbar showing the U logo is green , if that’s what you 're referring to. I had not noticed any other color beside green to be honest .
doesn’t the port checker tells you whether the Utorrent listening port is open?
LOL. uTorrent icon is always green. Thats not what I meant. There is a check mark on the bottom middle of uTorrent which shows if your connected properly and if not you click it for advice.
Your clicking the wrong thing. Click on the yellow check mark on uTorrent. That will bring you to the port forward page. The stealth port wizard is in Comodo under the firewall tab.
I`m new to configuring firewalls but learning (hopefully).
To me this seems a lot of work.
Can anyone tell me what is wrong with calling uTorrent a “trusted application”, and clicking the middle option on the “port stealthing” option.
The uTorrent light goes green immediately.
When ive finished using uTorrent I stealth all my ports again.
Am I doing anything wrong using this method? and am I leaving my compt. at risk? (L)
If you set uTorrent as a “trusted application” you are telling CFP that it can communicate in whatever manner it wants; you do not want CFP to monitor & control if necessary (such as if it were to get hijacked).
The middle option in the port stealthing wizard was designed with p2p apps such as uTorrent in mind. If you are switching back and forth between the wizard settings, you need to make sure that you are not creating more layers of Global Rules for the firewall. Typically, I have not seen the wizard to remove previous rules, only add new ones to the top. May not be a problem, but keep an eye on it…
Hi everyone,
thanks to Pandlouk & Ragwing for supplying the configuration rules for setting up utorrent, theres no way i would have even attempted to do it without them. A few days ago i tried Pandlouks instructions and despite following it to the letter, i couldnt get utorrent to run properly so ended up uninstalling it and clearing all traces of it from CFP 3. Now with more time to spend on it i thought i would try Ragwings OPTION 2 instructions, but am stuck at the very first part of it. To me it just reads as a riddle (and a good one at that). Ive read all 21 pages of the utorrent thread and nobody else has asked it. Please can someone explain the following for me as im completely lost with it. QUOTE:
Option 2 - Deny use of privileged ports (Recommended for additional security, but might cause problems due to some ports being blocked)
Go to Firewall->Advanced->Network Security Policy->Global Rules and add the following rule above all blocking (red) rules:
Action: Allow
Protocol: TCP or UDP
Direction: In
Description: Allow incoming traffic for uTorrent
Source Address: Any
Destination Address: Your IP/MAC or Any
Source Port: 1025-65535
Destination Port: uTorrent
What is meant by ?: and add the following rule above all blocking (red) rules:
Go to Firewall->Advanced->Network Security Policy->Global Rules and add the following rule above all blocking (red) rules:
Someone please explain as i have no idea what they are referring to.
Thanks for your reply Xplorer 4x4,
i cant believe what a dumb idiot ive been. I had related the word “above” in the sentence to meaning (possibly) a set of rules that Ragwing had written in Option 1 ?. What a Richard head. Anyway Xplorer 4x4 thanks for your swift reply.
Hi everyone,
ive followed Ragwings option 2 settings to the letter to setup utorrent. The only changes that have been made in utorrents preferences is the 4 boxes in the connection settings are unticked, as i just run a virgin cable modem. Although i have not used utorrent yet ( more reading to do first) it would appear that it is working ok. The problem that i have is the utorrent button that should indicate green / yellow / red is missing from the GUI 99% of the time. On the very rare ocassions that it has been visible, the only colour it has been is green, and when i run the mouse over it, it says the system is all running ok. There is nothing i can do to make it visible, it seems to have a mind of its own. Is this a bug ? or is there something further i need to do ? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks… Des.
I used to have a bug with µTorrent before that made my icon always show that I had no incoming connections, so it’s probably a bug. Also note that the icon won’t show if you don’t have any active torrent.
To test if your PC accepts incoming connection on the port you want, just use this address: http://www.utorrent.com/testport.php?port=0 (where 0 is replaced with the port number you’re using)
thanks for taking the time to post your configuration rules on the site, it`s a big help to us without the experience or knowledge. I`ve just clicked on your link but it just takes me to a non active page with the following written on it:
Welcome to the µTorrent Port Checker.
A test will be performed on your computer to check if the specified port is opened.
Missing port
I hope that wasnt the actual test otherwise ive got problems, lol. I`ve just retried the speedguide test again, and it states my port is ok, open and accepting connections. When you mention the green button (etc) is visible when the connection is “active”, do you mean when a d/l or u/l is in progress ? OR when the port is functioning/setup correctly ? Thanks… Des
