uTorrent Guide

After spending 2 days trying to make uTorrent work behind Astaro 8 I finally managed to solve it. Here is how I did... 

Astaro gurus out there - feel free to comment on this...am I doing anything stupid here? 

1. Create the Definition for the computer running uTorrent

Definition and Users -> Network Definitions -> New Network Definition ->

Name: uTorrent host (or whatever you want to call your seedbox)
Type: Host
Interface: Any
IPv4 Adress: 192.168.10.100 (or whatverver LAN address your seedbox has)
Comment: Whatever you want


2. Create the Service Definition

Definition and Users -> Service Definitions -> New Service Definition ->

Name: uTorrent
Type of Definition: TCP/UDP
Destination port: 55555 (or whatver port you have set in uTorrent)
Source port 1:65535
Comment: Whatever

3. Create NAT Rule

Network Security -> NAT -> DNAT/SNAT -> New NAT rule

Traffic Source: Any
Traffic Service: uTorrent
Traffic Destination: External (WAN) Network - (I dont really understand why it shouldn´t be Any to Internal......but it must be External)
Nat Mode: DNAT
Destination: uTorrent Host (the host definition created under p. 1 above)
Destination Service: uTorrent (the service definition created under p. 2 above)
Automatic Firewall rule: On

Turn it on, i.e. press the red/green switch

4. Create the outbound firewall rule

Firewall -> New Rule

Source: uTorrent Host
Service: Any
Destination: Any

Turn it on, i.e. press the red/green switch

This will open all outbound communication from the uTorrent host

5. Create the inbound firewall rule

Firewall -> New Rule

Source: Any
Service: uTorrent
Destination: uTorrent Host

Turn it on, i.e. press the red/green switch

----------------------------------------

Happy seeding!

I've followed this guide for Sophos UTM 9.. and everything worked like a charm, but I have faced one issue, and its the very first time this has happened to me since i've installed UTM9, after setting up these configs last night my firewall crashed. Not sure why this happened... Any clues?

Also, is this safe enough rules, i see a lot of "ANY" services, sources and destinations. Or can something be left out or tweaked to make it more safer?

P.S. Since my last posting over 2 hours, utm 9 has crashed 3 times after reboot, but when i disable the rules mentioned here, all works fine.

I still need help with this.

My internet connection drops each time i enable this rules. But right just before this event, the internet connection chokes, and flutucates, the connection becomes intermittent, and then finally the firewall chokes. I cannot even access the webadmin page. Only after rebooting the firewall the internet works. But upon starting the utorrent client, the same behaviour is seen.

No one else facing this issue?

Or no one else using utorrent here?

i know is to late for help Cyber Army, but i solved all this setting mi IP in the Web Proteccion / Application control / Advanced / Skip Host/nets, and it work really nice, just reload utorrent after that, and thats it all!!

since verry beginig i didnt made all the steps like the guide, like you said theres a lot of "any" in there, but just for learning i suggets this, i cant prove this in my office, but if You can,I would appreciate a reply

DNAT
Condition
traffic from: mi host ip (you will be the only one using utorrent)
service: Utorrent (like the guide said)
going to: my WAN IP nic (like Velvet Fog explain)

Action
change destination to: again my ip host (i am the only need this service)
service to: utorrent

i would like to know if this works, but remember, put the ip in the skip list, that works fine

I have UTM 9.506-2
