Enable 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' (disabled, by default)

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

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

To Disable 'Do Protocol analysis'

1. Open 'Tasks' interface by clicking the green curved arrow at top right of the 'Home' screen

2. Open 'Firewall Tasks' by clicking 'Firewall Tasks' from the Tasks interface and click 'Open Advanced Settings'.

3. Ensure that 'Do Protocol Analysis' checkbox is not selected.

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

1. Click 'Rulesets' under 'Firewall' from the LHS navigation pane of 'Advanced Settings' interface to open 'Rulesets' panel

2. Click the handle from the bottom of the panel and choose 'Add'

The 'Firewall Ruleset' interface will open for creating a new set of rules.

3. Click the handle from the bottom and choose 'Add'

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

5. Now you need to create six rules for the newly created ruleset. To do so, click 'Add'. The 'Firewall 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 'OK' for the rule to be added. Click handle in the 'Firewall Ruleset' interface and choose 'Add' to create the next rule.
