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!
