I myself have been tracking to see if there are familiar IP addy’s like my DNS or IP in the log, so can’t help you there. Need someone else more experienced in this.
Windows Operating System is an application-less event in the log, particularly more common for p2p users due to blocked connections. I basically think of it as unwanted incoming connections being blocked while on the internet, although depending on your rules, some may be valid. More on that over here.
I guess I wont worry about those UDP events. It works & my PC is clean, so Im happy with it.
I will check that link, thanks.
Also thanks for all your help and good luck.
hello…my first post.
im afraid the tutorial doesnt work for me…ive followed it to the letter and utorrent still shows the port ive selected for it as closed.
it worked when i changed the settings in the stealth wizard as suggested…but then the grc site showed my ports as open and not stealthed.
changing rule 4 to allow didnt help either.
the only way i can get utorrent to work is by creating a global rule…but it seems unsafe and wrong to do that
i want my application (utorrent) to override my global rule like all my other applications and games seem to do just fine
This firewall seems to have some nice features , is secure and is working fine on my other applications.
but i really changed in the hope of making utorrent behave properly
any more suggestions would be welcome…thank you
the same thing,all that tutos doesn’t work.
hello…little help please?..just been through the whole thing again and still no go
can anyone help?
Screenshots of your uTorrent Application Rules and Global Rules would help.
thanks for replying…my application rules are an exact copy of the tutorials 5 rules…using the port of my choice where needed…my global rules are untouched.
nothing gets through like this
i can create a global rule for my port and move it above the block rule and all is fine…but then i dont need the tutorial rules at all and it doesnt seem right…also port scanners show my p2p port open when utorrent is in use like this.
hope you can help …cyril
cyril, I see that you picked the other option in the Stealth Ports Wizard. It looks like the default option when CFP 3 is installed. It’s fine, except if you use that setup, you’ll need to add a Global Rule to allow TCP/UDP incoming to your uTorrent port. This setup will be like v2 was.
As for port scanners showing that port being opened, well guess what? It’s supposed to whenever uTorrent is utilized, how else would be able to properly download torrents? A port being opened when you know a program requires it is normal. This has always been the case even with v2 or any firewall. Once uTorrent is closed, you can re-scan that port and confirm it’s stealthed.
BTW, this is off-topic a bit but anyone intersted in uTorrent speed tweaks, I recommend this site.
thanks very much for your prompt reply soyabeaner…
when i add the global rule it does stealth itself after utorrent shuts down and i wasnt sure wether the port probe should show it open or not while running.
youve solved my problem and it would appear all is well if i use it set up that way (:WIN)
edit: just to mention the fact that using the tutorial with the stealth ports on a per case basis option leaves port 135 (rpc) unstealthed while using utorrent
making the global rule as per the earlier version of comodo leaves it stealthed so it appears to be the better option…plus disabling protocol analysis was very bad for me …maybe because i have the protocol encryption option checked in utorrent
upload speed had to be set to automatic also
good speeds now
thanks again
Hello,
I have followed the tutorial to no avail. uTorrent still says I’m Firewalled and all trackers time out.

Is anything wrong?
I’m using the per case basis Stealth Ports wizard option and my port 135 is stealthed. Then again, I have a lot of services disabled in XP already, so it might be related to it. That one is also used by DCOM Service Control Manager. Anyway, that’s a different topic and as long your setup is fine, just stick with it.
Welcome to the forum, Goose3131. Yes. For one, I would mask the IP address and not screenshot it for the internet to know (unless you’re comfortable with that). If your IP is dynamic, you wouldn’t want to specify the IP address. Instead, you might have to use the ANY in place of it. But what’s really strange is why you would place Allow IP Out from Any Any: Get rid off that last rule and replace it with Block IP In/Out Any Any. This is based on the assumption that your first screenshot is on your Application rules, not Global rules.
The rest I can’t comment since I really don’t know which of your screenshot is for which. You can also check your log for any relevant blocked entries.
Anyone else have any clues?
The first is the application rules, and the second is global.
As for the “Allow any IP to connect anywhere on any protocol” rule, that seems to be added automatically when I start uTorrent. As for when I try to set it, the pop-up box comes up asking if I want to allow an IP (from a peer) to connect to me. Saying “yes” puts that rule in.
And it’s a dynamic IP, so would that have any effect on the rule? I hate being firewalled, all my downloads have gone from 1 MByte/sec to 100 KBytes. 
(On Linux distros, by the by, so it’s not a slow torrent).
Ok, that makes it a whole different story. With dynamic IP, you would have to change the parts where you specified your IP address to be your ‘trusted network zone’ or ‘ANY’. The ANY will for sure work regardless of your setup. This is because dynamic-based IP will change your IP every time you reset your PC or modem or after a certain time that your ISP expires it.
So if you look at Pandy’s first post, your rules do not in fact follow it.
I would just like to add my thanks to both the author of this thread/Tutorial, and the author of the thread/Tutorial of the router IP address setup help page.
I followed both to the letter, and now get perfect downloads, which faster speeds, and no problems.
Thank you so much for all your time and efforts.
COMODO Rocks!
Hey all!
After fidgeting with utorrent and setting up comodo last night it worked beautifully, thanks to the instructions on this thread. Download speeds were brilliant and everything was fab, till I turned off my pc and turned it on this evening to find utorrent is not doing very much and the little triangle (which was a beautiful green yesterday) is now yellow and stayed yellow… ???
Any ideas?
I’ve read through “most” of this thread and some of the port forwarding rules seem unnecessary to me, although I’ve not run Comodo with Defense+ turned on so maybe I’m missing something there. And I’m behind a router…
But I just set two application rules for utorrent.
Allow, TCP or UDP, Out.
Source Address: Host Name, Destination Address: Any, Source Port: Any, Destination Port: Any.
Allow, TCP or UDP, In.
Source Address: Any, Destination Address: Host Name, Source Port: Any, Destination Port: “utorrent’s port”.
I never touched or added to, any of the global rules.
With just these two rules Comodo forwards the required port to utorrent and it displays it’s green network status icon. Running the speed test in the browser however reports the port not to be forwarding. I assumed this is because without the usual “global” rule the port isn’t getting forwarded to the browser as it normally would (so the test reports as having failed), but I assume this is even better as the port’s only getting forwarded to the application that requires it.
I’m not sure if those same two rules wouldn’t work if the computer is directly connected to the internet, but I can’t see why it shouldn’t be that simple?
One other thing…
Wouldn’t using “Host Name” rather than an IP address pretty much solve the problem of forwarding ports to a computer with a dynamic IP address?
At the risk of appearing like a sycophantic, hero-hungry loser…
…surely, they are as Gods who’d post these tutorials… (:CLP)
To call them helpful would be an injustice - the ring that holds the keys to your house is “helpful” ;
these guys are the keys.
After much tearing of hair, uninstalling, reinstalling and I’m pretty sure I have now got RSI, utorrent finally works again :BNC woot! I do love the colour green. I went for Ragwing’s rules instead. Cheers mate works like a charm. Also I didn’t activate defense+ when I reinstalled Comodo.
Lets hope it stays green. Comodo is a pretty brilliant firewall and I didn’t really want to uninstall it and go for something different.
I believe we were simultaneously experiencing the same nightmare…
…with all of the steps one needs to take in order to properly Utor…jumping back and forth with half a dozen CFP settings open and another half dozen assorted others…it can be discouraging.
How sweet is that green check? I wanna make love to it. (:LOV)
Did you include the global rule?
Just that I’m still trying to work out if there’s a reason for it as utorrent goes green for me without it (as per my earlier post).
In fact it seems to me that by having the global rule you wouldn’t need the individual utorrent application rules as the required port would just be forwarded all the time regardless of whether utorrent is running or not. I haven’t tested it yet, but I assume without the global rule (only using the application rules instead) the port being forwarded would become stealthed again when utorrent isn’t running.
