Firewalling for the Comodo Firewall






 

Before we can open ports for Utorrent, we need to figure out what ports Utorrent is using. Here is a brief walkthrough on how to do that. Go ahead and open up Utorrent.



Click Options in the menu at the top of your screen. In the list that drops down click Preferences.



Click Network Options on the left hand side of the Utorrent program. You should now see the menu shown in the screenshot above. Make sure the Enable UPnP box is unchecked. The number in the Port Used for Incoming Connections box contains the port you need to open. You can change the port number, if you want to. Please enter the port you chose into the box below.

Utorrent's Port for incoming connections

Open up the Utorrent program.You may see a security alert window that looks like the following image.


If you do, then click the Remember my answer for this application checkbox to put a check in it. Then click the Allow button.Now let's open up the Comodo Firewall so we can check the settings in it.


Click the Security button near the top of the page.




Click the Application Monitor button near the left of the page.




You should see Utorrent in the Application Control Rules table. The protocol row of the Utorrent should be set to TCP/UDP Out. If it is not set to that click Utorrent and then click the Edit button.


In the general section set the Action drop down to Allow. Then set the Protocol drop down to TCP or UDP. Set the Direction drop down to Out. Then click the Ok button to save those settings. Then on the left hand side of the Comodo Firewall window click the Network Monitor option.


We will list a series of lines here that will show you exactly how to setup Comodo Firewall's firewall for Utorrent. Go ahead and enter the settings shown below into the Network Control Rule menu.

Click the Add link close to the top of this window. Almost all the settings on the tabs on this page will remain the same. The only one you will need to change is the Destination Port tab. So click that tab now.
  Exclude (i.e. Not the choice below.)  
  Any Ports:  
  A single port  
  A port range  
  A set of ports (comma seperated e.g. 80,443)  
Click the Ok button to save those changes. Once you have created the new rule, be sure to right click that rule and move up above all of the block rules.
