Bittorrent Client works, but...

HansDampf2008
My bittorrent client does work very well, but to achieve that I have to set the following packet filter rule:

Source: MyIP -> Service:Any -> Destination:Any 
allways allowed

I had to define this rule cos the ASG had blocked all packets sending from myIP with random outgoing ports. And these connection seems to be needed for using the bittorrent network.[:S]

    Depending on the client, the SOURCE port may be predictable.

    Predictable source port? how?

    I think the outgoing port could be the port the other torrentusers have on thei clients. So I have to select almost every port above 1024?

    Exactly as Wingman said.

    It gets messier if you don't use a client that uses a single port for all torrents, so try to use one that does. Azureus/Vuze works fine for me, but uTorrent reportedly uses much less RAM.

    However, Hans asked earlier about controlling outgoing traffic, so the outgoing rule could look like this:
    source PC, service BitTorrentOUT, dest any, allow
    where BitTorrentOUT is defined as 
    TCP/UDP
    source port: port # you've configured in the client (e.g. 6881).
    dest port 1024:65535

    Barry


    Barry I haven't defined outgoing traffic and utorrent works fine. Is it something that you have to configure?

    If you already have another rule for outgoing traffic (e.g. INT, ANY, ANY), then you're fine.
    The original poster had asked though, so I wanted to make sure I covered that too.

    I have no torrent outgoing related traffic at all.I've just checked the logs and I need to allow outgoing traffic as well

    I need to verify though, which ports are need for utorrent /outgoing traffic

    I found that I need to do the following:

    Action = Allow 
    Protocol = TCP
    Direction = Out
    Description = Rule for outgoing TCP connections
    Source Address = utorrent client
    Destination Address = Any
    Source port = A port range = (start port = 1025 / end port = 65535)
    Destination port = A port range = (start port = 1025 / end port = 65535)


    Action = Allow 
    Protocol = UDP
    Direction = Out
    Description = Rule for outgoing UDP connections
    Source Address = utorrent client
    Destination Address = Any
    Source port = the port of utorrent
    Destination port = A port range = (start port = 1025 / end port = 65535)




    The range is huge. Can someone confirm that that's normal?(These ports can be limited using net.outgoing_port functionality .I am more concern about the rule itself )

    Hi 

    thx for your help, so here´s what i did but it didn´t work for me

    vuze port is 6881
    service definitions OUT
    bittorent_OUT TCP/UDP 6881 → 1:65535
    service definitions IN
    bittorent_IN TCP/UDP 1024:65535 → 6881

    define the client pc under network

    create pf rules
    client -> bittorent_OUT -> any
    any -> bittorent_IN -> client

    and the NAT rule
    DNAT [bittorrent]
    Traffic selector: Any → bittorent_OUT → External (WAN) (Address)
    Destination translation: client

    mmh so what is wrong here, any hint are welcome, thx for helping me!!!

    best regards

    What's on the pf log?
    What do you mean "didn't work for me?" (no connection at all?ports are closed?)

    change the nat rule to use your bittorrent_in service. You can see the traffic in your log file has the destination of 6881.

    you  don't need to have automatic packet filter on and define all rules b yourself. Remember that you have to allow trackers to talk to the internet as well. 

    e.g Bitorrent might work but if none of the trackers is allowed you won't be able to download any files

    I'm quite new at this, could you please explain how to make downloading with azureus possible? The download never starts and all the packets are dropped.

    Definitions:
    ------------
    under network create torrent pc client(basically the pc that uses the torrent client)

    Packet Filter
    --------
    source :Any
    service :utorrent port
    Destination: torrent client pc

    packet filter
    --------------
    source: torrent client pc
    service: tracker ports (ports needed for trackers)
    Destination: tracker ips

    source: torrent client pc
    service:UDP port outgoing for torrent client
    Destination: Any

    source: torrent client pc
    service:TCP port outgoing for torrent client
    Destination: Any




    Nat
    ------
    traffic source: Any
    Traffic service :utorrent port
    traffic destination: external wan ip
    Nat mode: DNAT
    destination: utorrent client pc
    destination service: nothing
    automatic pf rule unchecked

    Now if you configure the same but change the ports to the correct ones(i think bittorrent uses range of ports whereas utorrent uses one) and configure the client everything should work


    If you keep the same procedure but replace the torrent port with the azureus  one you will be fine

    Things to replace:

    1)TCP port outgoing for torrent client
    2)UDP port outgoing for torrent client
    3)utorrent port


    Let me know how it goes!

    Hi.
    Now I can download and upload through bittorrent, but I met another problem. While I'm using my torrent client and downloading/uploading the server is VERY slow, almost not responding. I have an Intel P4 2.8Ghz, 1.5GB Ram, 40GB IDE disk, 2 x Gbit networks cards. Is it too small or could it be some configuration that makes it slow when handling torrrent traffic?
  • 0 in reply to otroean
    i know for fact that for utorrent clients you can set the number of ports open as well as minimum maximum port.
    Is it generally slow or just only when torrent is enabled?

    What's the bandwidth of your connection, and of your torrent activity?

    By 'server' do you mean the firewall, and do you mean web admin?

    Hi.
    By server I meant firewall...

    Webadmin and other pages doesn't show when torrent trafic is active. The "old" 3com router never had problems with browsing and downloading at the same time. The torrent won't get maximum speed with the new firewall. Webadmin reports non respond error with question to wait or cancel some command...

    The status says 25% of RAM used and between 5 and 10% CPU load when I download, but the webadmin interface is VERY slow when downloading torrents not matter what download/upload speed the torrent have.

    8mbit download and 0.7 mbit upload. The torrent program is limited to 25KB/s upload and with the new firewall I haven't gotten more than 700KB/s compared with the "old" router I had over 900KB/s.  I tried to limit downloadspeed to 100KB/s but still VERY slow alomost none respons when trying to browse webpages or use webadmin.

    Hello. I got the same problem  with version 7.402 ..  Running it  in Hyper-V  environment but  that should not be the cause. with lot of connections  from bittorrent (above 50 .. which is really silly amount. should be able to handle houndreds)  the firewall gets somehow blocked. Not the machine itself, only all network traffic going though it.
    When i log it  as console and log as root the responsiveness  is fine, cpu usage is low and mem usage low as well. No idea  whats the hang-up there.

    Oh i am using HOME licence btw. if that might be the case please let me know . still in a phase of "testing" this fw if it will be viable  option for my needs. Before i hit this bug  it was almost 100% reliable..
