Firewalling for the Comodo Firewall






 

BitLord chooses a random port to listen on when you install it. Before we can open ports for BitLord, we need to find out what port BitLord is using. Go ahead and open BitLord.



In the menu at the top of your screen, click Options. Clicking Options will cause a menu to drop down. In this new menu click Preferences.



In the menu on the left the top option Connection should be selected. On the right hand side of this window you should see a Listen Port option. That is the port that you need to open. You can change it if you like. Please enter the listen port below.

BitLord's Listen Port:

There is one more thing we need to do. We need to shut off the UPNP of BitLord.



In the menu on the left hand side under Advanced, click Connection. There should be an Enable UPnP Port Mapping(XP only) checkbox on the right hand side. Make sure it is unchecked.

Open up the BitLord 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 BitLord in the Application Control Rules table. The protocol row of the BitLord should be set to TCP/UDP Out. If it is not set to that click BitLord 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 BitLord. 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.
