Firewalling for the Comodo Firewall






 

Before we can open ports for BYOND, we need to set the port that BYOND will be hosting on. Here is a brief walkthrough on how to do that. Go ahead and open up Dream Seeker.



Load the game that you want to host. Once the game is loaded the Host button in the lower right of your screen shot light up. Click that button and you should see the screen above. Enter the port you want to host on into the Port box. It doesn't really matter what port you choose, but remember it because it is the port you will need to open. Please enter the port you chose into the box below.

BYOND's Host port

Open up the BYOND Dream Seeker Host program.You may see a security alert window that looks like the following image.


If you do, then click the Remember my answer for this application checkbox to put a check in it. Then click the Allow button.Now let's open up the Comodo Firewall so we can check the settings in it.


Click the Security button near the top of the page.




Click the Application Monitor button near the left of the page.




You should see BYOND Dream Seeker Host in the Application Control Rules table. The protocol row of the BYOND Dream Seeker Host should be set to TCP/UDP Out. If it is not set to that click BYOND Dream Seeker Host and then click the Edit button.


In the general section set the Action drop down to Allow. Then set the Protocol drop down to TCP or UDP. Set the Direction drop down to Out. Then click the Ok button to save those settings. Then on the left hand side of the Comodo Firewall window click the Network Monitor option.


We will list a series of lines here that will show you exactly how to setup Comodo Firewall's firewall for BYOND Dream Seeker Host. Go ahead and enter the settings shown below into the Network Control Rule menu.

Click the Add link close to the top of this window. Almost all the settings on the tabs on this page will remain the same. The only one you will need to change is the Destination Port tab. So click that tab now.
  Exclude (i.e. Not the choice below.)  
  Any Ports:  
  A single port  
  A port range  
  A set of ports (comma seperated e.g. 80,443)  
Click the Ok button to save those changes. Once you have created the new rule, be sure to right click that rule and move up above all of the block rules.
