In a forum of another firewall program i found this protocol rule for µtorrent.

please help me to create this rule in norton. do i need global rule as indicated below?

Option 2 - Deny use of privileged ports (Recommended for additional security, but might cause problems due to some ports being blocked)

Go to Firewall->Advanced->Network Security Policy->Global Rules and add the following rule above all blocking (red) rules:

Action: Allow
Protocol: TCP or UDP
Direction: In
Description: Allow incoming traffic for uTorrent
Source Address: Any
Destination Address: Your IP/MAC or Any
Source Port: 1025-65535
Destination Port: uTorrent-port

Now go to Firewall -> Advanced -> Network Security Policy -> Application Rules, and add these for uTorrent.exe:

Rule 1

Action: Allow
Protocol: TCP or UDP
Direction: In
Description: Allow incoming traffic
Source Address: Any
Destination Address: Your IP/MAC or Any
Source Port: 1025-65535
Destination Port: uTorrent port

Rule 2

Action: Allow
Protocol: TCP or UDP
Direction: Out
Description: Allow outgoing traffic
Source Address: Your IP/MAC or Any
Destination Address: Any
Source Port: 1025-65535
Destination Port: 1025-65535

Rule 3

Action: Allow
Protocol: TCP
Direction: Out
Description: Allow outgoing HTTP-traffic
Source Address: Your IP/MAC or Any
Destination Address: Any
Source Port: 1025-65535
Destination Port: 80

Rule 4

Action: Allow
Protocol: UDP
Direction: Out
Description: Allow DNS-requests
Source Address: Your IP/MAC or Any
Destination Address: Any or your DNS server (can be found by launching cmd.exe and writing ‘ipconfig /all’.
Source Port: 1025-65535
Destination Port: 53

If you have more than one DNS-server, add a rule for each of them.

Rule 5

Action: Block
Protocol: TCP or UDP
Direction: Out
Description: Block outgoing traffic on privileged ports
Source Address: Your IP/MAC or Any
Destination Address: Any
Source Port: 1-1024
Destination Port: 1-1024

Rule 6

Action: Block
Protocol: TCP or UDP
Direction: In
Description: Block incoming traffic on privileged ports
Source Address: Any
Destination Address: Your IP/MAC or Any
Source Port: 1-1024
Destination Port: 1-1024

Rule 5 and 6 will prevent connections to privileged ports from getting logged, so that CFP 3 won’t log a lot of intrusion attempts.

Rule 7

Action: Block (mark ‘Log as firewall event if this rule is fired’)
Protocol: IP
Direction: Out
Description: Block and log outgoing traffic
Source Address: Your IP/MAC or Any
Destination Address: Any

Rule 8

Action: Block (mark ‘Log as firewall event if this rule is fired’)
Protocol: IP
Direction: In
Description: Block and log incoming traffic
Source Address: Any
Destination Address: Your IP/MAC or Any
