Hello,
I was wondering if clicking the stealth ports wizard option “alert me to incoming connections and make my ports stealth on a per-case basis” is enough for normal torrenting or are there other settings I should change or create?
Is it safe enough also?
Changed all caps title to normal case. Eric
The way I configure it is as follows. Set Stealtho ports wizard to block all incoming connections, then in network security policy - global rules create a rule that allows incoming tcp and upd on destination port , place the rule somewhere above “block all” rule and save it (press ok). When you start utorrent you’ll be alerted that Utorrent is trying to recieve incoming connection on , allow that (that’ll create application rule for utorrent) and you should be all set (allow any outgoing connections if asked).
If you are on a LAN you can use that setting for Global Rules. When connecting directly to the web (no router between you and the modem) it is better to use the Global Stealth settings (option 3 in the Stealth Ports Wizard) because otherwise you will get a lot of alerts.
Copy these rules to a notepad and save on your computer so that you can refer to them easily.
How to configure Comodo firewall for utorrent using a ‘Predefined Policy’
Go to → Firewall
→ Network Sec. Policy
→ Predifined Firewall Policies
→ select Add
IMPORTANT->Give a name at the new Predefined Policy for example: utorrent
Click → Add
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 … Your uTorrent port
click apply and then add…
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 )
click apply and then add…
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 … Your uTorrent port
Destina port=A port range=(start port= 1025 / end port = 65535 )
click apply and then add…
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
click apply and then add…
NOTE → if you just have a modem (no router), you may need to add rule 5
to allow outgoing DNS requests
Rule 5
Action = Allow
Protocol = UDP
Direction = Out
Description = Allow Outgoing DNS
Source Address = Any
Destination Address = IPv4 single address - Your DNS address ( Comodo - 8.26.56.26 )
Source port = Any
Destination port = 53
click apply and then add…
Rule 6
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
Click apply
Click OK
Start utorrent.
When Comodo asks pops up
click → Treat this application as → Select utorrent → click Remember my answer.
I have got alerts before in proactive mode so I switched to IS mode and hardly any with this setting.
Why so complicated? can someone explain the rules to me? I have a router so these rules are better than the stealth port wizard setting?
This seems closer to how I had it set in pctools fw plus, I had utorrent allowed both in/out and that’s it.
Can you show me how you have yours? in source and destination port do I put the port i’m using?
It’s all been discussed here …

Radaghast (a very knowledgeable forumer) has made similar rules without the “predefined rules”

Thank You! 
as Radaghast says … remember to remove any existing utorrent rules before you apply new ones.
Here are my rules for utorrent. Any other tabs are set to .

That’s indeed how Global Rules differ between Proactive and Internet Security configuration.
However, you can get the default stealth Global Rules in Proactive Security configuration as well in case your prefer the extra security of Proactive. Just use the Stealth Ports Wizard and use option 3.
