    Hello,

    I have a quesition about the rule in Internet filtering setted for application.That is :rule set for application(associated some applicatons in "applications")in Internet filtering will be active when associated application running. Do ports opened by this rule still open for other exchange in Internet ? Once the rule actived by associated application, whether the filter check what allowed by this rule in Internet must originate from this application? If not, than block? Once this rule is active , all traffic meet with this rule is allowed ?



    Wish you understand what I said.:)

    Any suggestion will be appreciated.

    Hi lookcity :)

    Normally, when a rule is specific for one application the only traffic allowed by this rule is the one from this application...

    but

    I found some condition where a specific rule in use looks to be also allowing some traffic associated with an other application...


    This situation happen in my system when I was using a very restrictive rules set and a rule for Passive FTP using a large range of local ports. Some application not associated with that PASSV Ftp rule looks (in the log entries) using that rule...

    This situation may also happened when you makes too many modifications to your rule set during the system operation: that's fool LNS...

    I fix both problems with a better rules set and by making few modification at the time. If you have too many modification to do, the best is to make change in the rule set offline then restart.

    Hope this help.

    :)

    Hi Climenole:
    Thank you for your reply:D
    That is to say , in most cases , only the traffic of defined application will be allowed ? I just think like this before untill some friends of me mentioned that if the ports BitTorrent needed was opened by other running software , BT can work well too. I didn't do experiment.
    Thank you for your suggestion.:thumb:
    Have a good day!

    Hi lookcity :)


    BitTorrent clients are not "equal"...

    µTorrent works as expected but BitTyran (a variant of Azureus) have some weirds behaviour...

    Ex.:

    BitTyran makes a broadcast to the IP addr. 239.255.67.250 to a random remote port from the local port range 1024 to 65535. Why? Not documented...

    BitTyran makes also many UDP connections from ramdom ports local and remote.

    BitTyrant makes also an IGMP broadcast to the IGMPv3 IGMP.MCAST.NET=224.0.0.22 (like Azureus).
    Why? Not documented as far as I know. Allowed or blocked, this makes no change to the operation of these BitTorrent clients...

    Personnaly, I prefer µTorrent. There's no such weird "useless features" ...

    :)

    Hi
    Thank you for the information.
    I have not used µTorrent and BitTyran before.I don't like the weirds behaviour too.
    I didn't know what does "equal" mean exactly? :doubt:
    In fact , I rarely used any p2p software including BT ,so what I know about them is so limited.

    Thanks again.:)

    Hi lookcity :)

    Oups !
    Sorry: I have to explain this quotation from the occidental cultural background.

    It's coming from a novel writen by George Orwell: "The animal farm".

    Ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_Farm

    After an animals revolution and the establishment of an equalitarian animal society, the animals becomes more and more closer to humans...

    They start with a complete equality between animals but this become at the end a BIG LIE and one of the animals sarcasticly remarks:

    "All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others."

    Hence my allusion to the BitTorrent clients "equal" in quality but no so equal... ;-)

    Hope you'll find this story funny and may be discover that a similar story already exist in the classical chinese litterature.

    :)

    Hi Climenole,
    Such a nice story.It was true that different country have different culture , so the world is so wonderful. Not only knowledge of professional but culture can I get from you. Thanks !

    Do the "litterature" in French means "literature" in English ? I hope so.
