SmithUnwesson Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 When I look at the active connections through the Comodo (3.14) Firewall I have a ton of active connections to/from utorrent.exe even when I'm not downloading. Is this normal? I've added the following rules to my firewall:Rule 1Action = AllowProtocol = TCP or UDPDirection = InDescription = Rule for incoming TCP and UDP connectionsSource Address = AnyDestination Address = AnySource port = A port range = (start port = 1025 / end port = 65535)Destination port = the port of utorrentRule 2Action = AllowProtocol = TCPDirection = OutDescription = Rule for outgoing TCP connectionsSource Address = AnyDestination Address = AnySource port = A port range = (start port = 1025 / end port = 65535)Destination port = A port range = (start port = 1025 / end port = 65535)Rule 3Action = AllowProtocol = UDPDirection = OutDescription = Rule for outgoing UDP connectionsSource Address = AnyDestination Address = AnySource port = the port of utorrentDestination port = A port range = (start port = 1025 / end port = 65535)Rule 4Action = Ask (enable Log as a firewall event if this rule is fired)Protocol = TCPDirection = OutDescription = Rule for HTTP requestsSource Address = AnyDestination Address = AnySource port = A port range = (start port = 1025 / end port = 65535)Destination port = 80Rule 5Action = Block (enable Log as a firewall event if this rule is fired)Protocol = IPDirection = In/OUTDescription = Block and Log All Unmatching RequestsSource Address = AnyDestination Address = AnyIP Details = AnyEDIT: Here's the post that I just put up on Comodo's Forum:Hello. I'm new to Comodo (been using v3.14 for about a week). I have my firewall security level set to Custom, Alerts set to Medium, and Defense settings at Paranoid. When I am sitting idle my firewall logs are logging massive amounts of blocked UDP requests to "Windows Operating System" through my set utorrent port. This is happening when utorrent is NOT running in my system tray. These denied requests are hitting me within a few seconds of each other. I've been searching the IP addresses and they all seem to be from overseas.Here's a few of the IP's that are requesting:84.1.174.235, 121.212.246.181, 189.71.209.160, 94.171.162.32, 66.190.54.156, 77.114.213.49, 24.54.254.111, 93.182.135.95, 87.210.191.115, 218.130.234.17, 79.167.186.201Any suggestions on what I should do? I've ran a full system scan using my Avast! and everything comes out clean. I've also used the ESET online scan with no faulty results. Could I possibly have just gotten pinged on one of my downloads??? HELP PLEASE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 It's normal, working as designed.These ips are attempting to connect to your uTorrent listening port, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmithUnwesson Posted March 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 Yes. But the thing is I only have a couple torrents that are in "stopped" status. I've noticed that when I open utorrent I have a massive amount of these IP's connecting through utorrent.exe. Why would all of these IP's need to communicate with my computer if I'm not downloading/uploading? Then also, why would they continue to try to connect through "Windows Operating System" after I close out of utorrent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 Those networking components on your end got in the way.It's the intent of those trying to connect to link up with a BT client they thought might still be (or rejoining) in the torrent swarm/s.
