Router Firewall PC Hosted Applications and IPv6 & teredos

[tmg]

Hi,

Since upgrading to 1.8 my router firewall lists hosted applications like:

• svchost (192.168.0.200:1648) 4294 UDP

• svchost (192.168.0.200:2169) 6600 UDP

as well as the usual utorrent TCP & UDP

is this normal or is something odd going on?

I normally delete these firewall 'holes' after torrent session to cover my tracks (in case the boss looks!) and there is startig to be a lot of them.

If you have Teredo enabled, that's probably why.

Hi,

how do I disable Teredo?

thanks

Why would you want to? It's not torrent-specific, it's a global thing (it's an ipv6 tunnel provided by microsoft, basically).

Hi,

Im a newbie to this sort of thing , can it be used by anti-p2p to spy on you, especially as they seem unable to distinguish between legal and illegal torrent downloads?

I'm just concerned about holes in firewalls (perhaps I'm to paranoid?)

regards

No, not really.
