Firewalling for the Infotecs TermiNet Personal Firewall






 

BitLord chooses a random port to listen on when you install it. Before we can open ports for BitLord, we need to find out what port BitLord is using. Go ahead and open BitLord.



In the menu at the top of your screen, click Options. Clicking Options will cause a menu to drop down. In this new menu click Preferences.



In the menu on the left the top option Connection should be selected. On the right hand side of this window you should see a Listen Port option. That is the port that you need to open. You can change it if you like. Please enter the listen port below.

BitLord's Listen Port:

There is one more thing we need to do. We need to shut off the UPNP of BitLord.



In the menu on the left hand side under Advanced, click Connection. There should be an Enable UPnP Port Mapping(XP only) checkbox on the right hand side. Make sure it is unchecked.

Go ahead and open up Infotecs TermiNet Personal Firewall.


Find the name of your computer in the menu on the left hand side of TermiNet and click it. In the picture above you will see my computer is named RandomAction.


You should now see a new menu that has dropped down under your computer's name. Click the Traffic Rules option in that new menu.

We will list a series of lines here that will show you exactly how to setup Infotecs TermiNet Personal Firewall's firewall for BitLord. Go ahead and enter the settings shown below into the Add Rule menu.

You should see a spreadsheet full of empty cells. Right click in there to get a new drop down menu. Click the Add Rule option.
