Enabling File Sharing Applications like BitTorrent and Emule

This page explains how to configure Comodo Firewall for file sharing applications like Shareaza/Emule and BitTorrent/UTorrent. To allow these file sharing applications, you must:

• Disable 'Do Protocol analysis' (disable, by default)
  

• Create a 'Predefined Firewall Policy' for Shareaza/Emule

• Create a 'Predefined Firewall Policy' for BitTorrent/Utorrent'

To Create a 'Predefined Firewall Policy' for Shareaza/Emule

1. Click 'Firewall' from the top navigation pane and click 'Network Security Policy' from the Firewall Tasks interface

2. In the Network Security policy interface, click 'Predefined Policies' tab...

… and click 'Add'. The 'Application Network Access Control' interface will open for creating a new set of rules.

 

3. Enter a descriptive name for the new policy to be created in the 'Description' text box (for example: For allowing Shareaza/Emule).

4. Now you need to create six rules for the newly created security policy. To do so, click 'Add'. The 'Network Control Rule' interface will appear. For creating each rule, select the check box and choose the drop-down options under each tab as given below. After creating each rule, click Apply for the rule to be added and click 'Add' to create the next rule.
