Re utorrent, I have some download/upload ability, but the the icon is still yellow in utorrent (no incoming connections). My download speeds are less than stellar,
I ran utorrent’s set-up guide “network test function” but I failed that test.
My conclusion is that my firewall could be causing the problem. The thing is I couldn’t find any guide(setting up CIS for utorrent) about doing this in version 5.0.16, all that I get is from version 4 and lower.
I’m a novice in using COMODO firewall please help.
There are two points where the incoming traffic may fail. That is at the router and at the computer.
Can you confirm with 100% certainty you have the required ports open in your router?
To start on the computer’s side. What are your firewall settings? Can you show us a screenshot of your Global Rules and the application rule you made for uTorrent?
Firewall-> Network Security Policy-> Predefined Policies ->ADD (over on the right)
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 …13653
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)
Destinati 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 …13653
Destina port=A port rang=(start port= 1025 / end port = 65535)
Rule 4
Action = Allow (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
The only change I made was to remove ‘ask’ from rule 4,
making it an allow rule, but keeping the logging on.
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
3. Start utorrent.
When Comodo asks you with a popup,
choose... Treat this application as... select... utorrent
and enable ....Remember my answer.
