gracefool Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 Anyone know how to setup Comodo Personal Firewall to use it with uTorrent? I had to switch from ZoneAlarm because uTorrent kept making it crash... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 Never heard of the firewall... why not try a more well-known one, like Agnitum Outpost Firewall, Look 'n' Stop Firewall, or Kaspersky Anti-Hacker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LouDog Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 Found this is the Comodo Forums, this made it work for me, enjoy!BittorentA mini tuttorial of how to open ports for bittorent and similar p2p programsGo at the "Network Monitor" panel and add the following ruleRule for TCP/UDP protocolAction = AllowProtocol = TCP or UDPDirection = InSource IP = AnyRemote IP = your IP adress (or "Any" )Source port = AnyRemote port = the port your bittorent program uses for the TCP/UDP connectionsYou must move the rules up, over the default rule "Block IP in". ( CPF "reads/applicates" the rules from the top to the bottom)ps. Remember that for CPF "Source IP" is the adress of the computer which sends the data and "Remote IP" is the computer that receives them. When your computer sends data is consindered Source, when receives them is consindered Remote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gracefool Posted July 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 Ah, thanks a heap LouDog, I didn't realise the network rules had an order... works now =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DraGoNsLaYaZ22 Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 If I follow those instructions will my computer be any less secure?With Outpost firewall I did not have to add any additional rules other than allowing the program access on its initial run. I'm just wondering why Comodo Personal Firewall needs this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 No, it won't be any less secure.And because some firewalls are more complex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salminen Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 "No, it won't be any less secure."But wont some malicious person or software be able to "come in" from the open port ?I tried grc:s port scan on the specified port that my uTorrent uses, and it said following:--"Solicited TCP Packets: RECEIVED (FAILED) — As detailed in the port report below, one or more of your system's ports actively responded to our deliberate attempts to establish a connection. It is generally possible to increase your system's security by hiding it from the probes of potentially hostile hackers. Please see the details presented by the specific port links below, as well as the various resources on this site, and in our extremely helpful and active user community.Unsolicited Packets: PASSED — No Internet packets of any sort were received from your system as a side-effect of our attempts to elicit some response from any of the ports listed above. Some questionable personal security systems expose their users by attempting to "counter-probe the prober", thus revealing themselves. But your system remained wisely silent. (Except for the fact that not all of its ports are completely stealthed as shown below.)Ping Echo: PASSED — Your system ignored and refused to reply to repeated Pings (ICMP Echo Requests) from our server."--Beacause if the port is open, wont people be able to connect to it or see that it is open, even when uTorrent is not active ?Not trying to be smart-ass here, but could someone give more through explanation (or a link to such) of why this wont lower my security level ?Im not a professional by any means, but what they tought me computer security class long long ago was port open = bad, port stealth mode (closed) = good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 An open port is only as vulnerable as the program listening on that port.µTorrent is about the only thing that responds to whatever oddball port you're using.And at this point, just by anecdotal evidence alone, I'd say it's pretty secure.Immensely more people get viruses and trojans just surfing the internet.

bopniblets Posted November 22, 2007 Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 I'm gonna bump this thread instead of making a new one (which I or someone else can do if necessary)Comodo PF version 3 has been released (works with Vista, woo!)http://www.personalfirewall.comodo.comSo has anyone managed to set it up with good ol' µT?I tried doing the way for the previous version but it didn't result in my port being allowed...What I did was click on the Firewall button on the top, then the Advanced button, go to Network Security Policy, then Global Rules tab and Add a new rule changing only the setting on the last tab putting in my port in the Single Port option, then I moved the new rule to the top of the list and Tested in µT but no green light!I had a look in the Application Rules tab too but there was no place to put in the port number.
