Opening Ports for eMule Plus on the Sunbelt SunbeltKerioPersonalFirewall Firewall

What is a Firewall?

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

Click the Preferences button in the menu at the top of your screen.

In the menu on the left hand side of your screen click the Connection tab.

You should see a TCP box and an UDP box. Enter a random port into each of these boxes. It doesn't matter what ports you choose, but a port numbers between 10000 and 60000 would be a good idea. A higher numbered port is generally the best to use, because most ISP's do not block the higher numbered ports. Please enter the port you chose for the TCP box into the box below.

Please enter the port you chose for the UDP box into the box below.
