Don't work numbers of connection


SYNTHETIC

Then your firewall is mistakenly assuming either UDP traffic is connections (which is an incorrect assumption, UDP traffic is connectionless) or that incoming connection attempts that are failing very quickly are going to last for a while.

A lot of firewalls treat outgoing UDP messages as transactions (to allow a return message). The firewall rejects UDP incomming messages except in response to an outgoing message. This prevents UDP storm denial of service attacks.

The problem is that these should not be reported as connections, but transactions. The transactions are supposed to time out. You can set the UDP timeout in the firewall or in uTorrent (these do different things).

Remember that, in any case, the number of connections allowed by your firewall should be at least twice the limit you set in programs.

Seems resolve ips is also enabled in the screenshot, which coupled with a high half open max in uTorrent (under advanced settings) can cause "apparent connections" to balloon even higher...at least if the firewall software counts the DNS lookup attempts as separate connections.
