Hi;
I've been watching the iptables threads, hoping I'd find some clues as to how to go about carving a hole a few port numbers wide for bittorrents use.
As I also have an external router, a linksys BESFR41, I'd probably have to setup something in it also, and that seems fairly clear, but I've never been able to get a torrent going through it. My iptables rules ATM are fairly bulletptoof, (you cannot see me from the internet other than a closed identd port) so my question is this:
Do any of these iptables gui front ends have a preset option to output a pre-canned ruleset that will pass the torrent, but still maintain a reasonable level of security outside this open port range that the torrent needs?
Can't spead to FWBuilder, which I'm learning, or Guarddog, but FireStarter which I currently use has a policy for BitTorrent and is very easy to activate - in fact, I normally keep it off, and just turn it on when I want to use it.
