I followed the first two instruction sets in this tutorial. The first one:

How to configure Comodo firewall 3 for utorrent.

  1. Go to : Firewall → Advanced → Attack Detection Settings → Miscellanous and disable Do Protocol analysis

  2. Go to : Firewall → Advanced → Predifined Firewall Policies and select Add…

Give a name at the new Predefined Policy for example: utorrent

Add the following rules:

Rule 1
Action = Allow
Protocol = TCP or UDP
Direction = In
Description = Rule for incoming TCP and UDP connections
Source Address = Any
Destination Address = Any
Source port = A port range = (start port = 1025 / end port = 65535)
Destination port = the port of utorrent

Rule 2
Action = Allow
Protocol = TCP
Direction = Out
Description = Rule for outgoing TCP connections
Source Address = Any
Destination Address = Any
Source port = A port range = (start port = 1025 / end port = 65535)
Destination port = A port range = (start port = 1025 / end port = 65535)

Rule 3
Action = Allow
Protocol = UDP
Direction = Out
Description = Rule for outgoing UDP connections
Source Address = Any
Destination Address = Any
Source port = the port of utorrent
Destination port = A port range = (start port = 1025 / end port = 65535)

Rule 4
Action = Ask (enable Log as a firewall event if this rule is fired)
Protocol = TCP
Direction = Out
Description = Rule for HTTP requests
Source Address = Any
Destination Address = Any
Source port = A port range = (start port = 1025 / end port = 65535)
Destination port = 80

Rule 5
Action = Block (enable Log as a firewall event if this rule is fired)
Protocol = IP
Direction = In/OUT
Description = Block and Log All Unmatching Requests
Source Address = Any
Destination Address = Any
IP Details = Any

  1. Start utorrent. When Comodo asks you with a popup, choose Treat this application as select utorrent and enable Remember my answer.

Have a nice file sharing. Wink

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:

  1. Choose your router model (if it’s not in the list, choose one from the same company)
  2. Select the software (in this case, uTorrent)
  3. 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

none of the above steps worked. so i followed the second instruction set:

Looks good, else this works fine:

  1. In uTorrent settings->Connections, disable “Activate UPnP portmapping” and “Randomize port everytime uTorrent starts”. Choose a port for incoming connections.

  2. Go to Firewall->Common Tasks->My Port Sets->Add->A New Port Set

Name it uTorrent or something. Now right-click it and select Add… Choose the port you’ve set uTorrent to listen on.

  1. Go to Firewall->Advanced->Network Security Policy->Application Rules and add the following rules for uTorrent.exe:

Allow TCP OR UDP In From IP Any To [Your MAC/IP] Where Source Port Is Any And Destination Port is In [uTorrent port]

Allow TCP OR UDP Out From [Your MAC/IP] To IP Any Where Source Port Is Any And Destination Port Is Any

[uTorrent] is the port set that you’ve created in step 2.

  1. Go to Firewall->Advanced->Network Security Polciy->Global Rules and add this rule at the top:

Allow TCP OR UDP In From IP Any To [Your MAC/IP] Where Source Port Is Any And Destination Port Is In [uTorrent port]

This works with everything enabled in Attack Detection Settings.

EDIT: If it’s not working for you that’s not my fault, because I’m downloading at 1.1Mbit/s with my 10Mbit/s ethernet broadband Tongue

this didnt work either, though i did get stuck working my way through it: i dont know what the author means with:
“Allow TCP OR UDP In From IP Any To [Your MAC/IP] Where Source Port Is Any And Destination Port is In [uTorrent port]”

"Allow TCP OR UDP Out From [Your MAC/IP] To IP Any Where Source Port Is Any And Destination Port Is Any

and

“Allow TCP OR UDP In From IP Any To [Your MAC/IP] Where Source Port Is Any And Destination Port Is In [uTorrent port]”

more specifically, I understood what “allow tcp or udp out” mean, but the rest i do not understand.

a final problem that came up is that now some sites i want to visit dont work! :frowning:

any ideas?
