Enable File Sharing Applications like BitTorrent and Emule

 

This topic explains how to configure Comodo Firewall to work with 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

Disable 'Do Protocol analysis'

1. Click 'Settings' on the CIS home screen

2. Click 'Firewall' > 'Firewall Settings'

3. Disable 'Do not Show popup alerts' so CIS will generate alerts when you open Shareaza or Emule.

4. Disable 'Do Protocol Analysis'

5. Click 'OK' to save your settings.

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

1. Click 'Settings' at the top of the CIS home screen

2. Click 'Rulesets' > 'Firewall'

The 'Firewall Ruleset' interface will open:

4. Enter a name for the new ruleset in the 'Description' text box. For example: 'For allowing Shareaza/Emule'.
