Nosnibor Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Ok now this is really strange. uTorrent and my COMODO firewall are NOW working together just fine after uninstalling then reinstalling the firewall and entering the uTorrent info back into the firewall. The Speed Guide say the port IS forwarded correctly with port 31XXX and in Preferences-Connections the listening port is the same port 31XXX. Now, when I was having problems getting uTorrent and my firewall to work together the port was 11XXX. I'm now getting a LARGE amount of Inbound Policy Violations Access Denied that my firewall is blocking conncerning that old port 11XXX from two IP addresses. Is this an indication that someone is trying to HACK in2 my PC using uTorrent? Any help would be greatly accepted. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 No, you're not being hacked into. You just need to configure comodo to shut up about getting hits on ports you're no longer listening on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosnibor Posted May 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 But what i mean is the firewall in blocking an INBOUND connection request meaning that another PC in trying to get in. Right??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 No, you're not being hacked into.These inbound connections and UDP packets are solicited (because you had torrents active (for the connections) and/or DHT enabled (for the UDP packets)). You aren't getting hacked. Configure comodo to be less overparanoid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosnibor Posted May 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Now if i could only figure out how 2 do that i'd be laughing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Does it have a manual or a knowledgebase? You might wanna look for that and start your search there on how to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosnibor Posted May 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 But....but....but what I'm trying to figure out is WHY is another computer TRYING to connect to my PC on that port that I once used as my listening port for uTorrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Because you ADVERTISED that port in the past, people's PC's CONTINUE trying that port for days...maybe even WEEKS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosnibor Posted May 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 So it's safe to say then that eventually the inbound requests will stop??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 It will take between several hours and days, depending upon how many swarms you advertised on. Remember due to PEX and DHT your information is still out there long after you disconnect, and relies on both timeout of peer cache and other peers on at the same time as you to no longer share you as a valid peer.
