Configuring LnS with Torrent Client

Configuring LnS with Torrent Client Question

In short this is my question:

I have imported bit-torrent rule from LnS site. Then I configured the ports accordingly. LnS was still blocking connections. Eventually what worked was to change the protocol from "TCP" only as it is by default to: "TCP or UDP". My experience is limited in this area, if someone may clear up for me if this change is fine or if by doing this I may have exposed myself or disabled firewall function for what is meant to be.

Thanks in advance

 

Using simply the one rule for both TCP and UDP port or port range, this is ok.

 

Thank you for looking into this.
