Step-By-Step Instruction for using uTorrent with AirVPN and Comodo

[geeknurse 3]

I had a hard time using the instructions provided by AirVPN for preventing leaks using uTorrent and the most current version of Comodo, so I pieced together my own system using already existing tutorials on the internet.

Please make corrections if you find errors in my method.

A. Create a network zone, Get the MAC for the TAP-Win adapter

1. (XP) Start / Run and type CMD, press enter

(Win7) Start and type CMD, press enter

2. You should see a black box called a DOS box with a blinking cursor

3. Type IPCONFIG /ALL

4. Look in the section that says TAP-Win32

5. You need the part that says Physical Address . . . . . . 00-??-??-??-??-??

6. Leave this window open for now

B. Create Network Zone for AirVPN

1. In Comodo, goto Tasks / Firewall Tasks / Open Advanced Settings / Network Zones

2. Right-Click / Add / New Network Zone

3. Name it AirVPN (press OK)

4. Select AirVPN

5. Double-Click (add addresses here) / MAC Address

6. Enter the 00-??-??-??-??-?? address from the DOS box

7. Press OK

C. Make a Ruleset

1. Open Rulesets

2. Right-Click / Add

3. Enter a Name, AirVPN

4. Right-Click / Add

Action: Allow

Protocol: IP

Direction: In

Source Address: Any

Destination Address: Network Zone / AirVPN

Click OK

5. Right-Click / Add

Action: Allow

Protocol: IP

Direction: Out

Source Address: Network Zone / AirVPN

Destination Address: Any

Click OK

6. Right-Click / Add

Action: Block

Protocol: IP

Direction: In/Out

Source Address: Any

Destination Address: Any

Click OK

D: Apply rule to Applications 9uTorrent or any other application you want to work only with AirVPN

1. Open Application Rules

2. Choose the application that should only work with AirVPN activeor add an new one. You can do this several ways If uTorrent isn't listed, Right-Click / Add / pull down "Browse" / Files or Running Processes (if uTorrent is active)

3. Click on the pull down "Copy from" / Ruleset / AirVPN

4. If there are other rules already, they will be removed. To keep any existing settings, you'll have to improvise here

5. Click OK

6. Click OK

E. Disable IPv6 in Windows 7 otherwise DHT, Local Peer Discovery and Peer Exchange will continue to connect even when AirVPN isn't active

Click / Start and type CMD, press enter. and apply the following at a command prompt: (just copy and paste)

netsh interface ipv6 set privacy state=disable

netsh interface ipv6 6to4 set state state=disabled

netsh interface ipv6 isatap set state state=disabled

netsh interface ipv6 set teredo disabled

This will disable all IPv6 tunnelling interfaces on Windows 7.

Is anything necessary for Mac's running OS X Mountain Lion?  Or is default config of utorrent with Tunnelvpn sufficient?

[Flx11 10]

One more step should be considered,

for utorrent/bittorrent in the settings/properties->go to ->advanced

under dns1/dns2-> enter the 10.4.0.1/10.5.0.1 ->now the app will use the airvpn servers->if anyone cares Not to use the servers provided by their ISP/whatever you have set as DNS primary/DNS secondary.

Geeknurse,  Nice work!   I have followed your example, and it effectively allows utorrent to download dependent on a AirVPN connection.  However, the network configuration tests onboard utorrent return 'port is not open, but you are able to download'.  It is important to me to contribute by uploading, and I believe port forwarding will help my uploads.  Am I right?  And is anyone familiar with a way to port forward through Comodo firewall to utorrent across AirVPN?  Thank you much!

Click / Start and type CMD, press enter. and apply the following at a command prompt: (just copy and paste)

netsh interface ipv6 set privacy state=disable
netsh interface ipv6 6to4 set state state=disabled
netsh interface ipv6 isatap set state state=disabled
netsh interface ipv6 set teredo disabled

This will disable all IPv6 tunnelling interfaces on Windows 7.


My win7 requires admin rights to run above commands. Instead of using "Click / Start and type CMD, press enter" do  "Click / Start and type CMD, press Ctrl-Shift-Enter". This starts cmd as administrator.
