deluge and guarddog iptables frontend

Post by devil81 »

Hi:

I hope someone can help me with this because it driving me nuts I'm running the latest RC on Kubuntu Linux using the guarddog interface to iptables which I really love but for some reason, it doesn't like deluge and will stop it from functioning. Even though I have enabled a custom tcp protocol in the advanced tab and enabled it. Do I have to enable other ports for the DHT and deluged to get it to work. :?:

Please help me because if a disable the firewall rules within guarddog- it works a treat with just the tcp port forwarded through my router hardware firewall. :D

have you opened the listening port?
under the preferences, you can test to see if the active listening port is open - my guess is that you haven't allowed a rule for that.

Hi:

Another question, now the port is open and receiving connections but the DHT is not working, is there a specific port or protocol that I should enable to allow this to function. :?:

Once again, cheers for the help.

no that I know of, but sometimes it takes DHT awhile to start finding peers.

DHT uses UDP, so you need to open that protocol as well as just TCP.

Thanks for that, I seem to have got it to work pretty well, but the DHT still doesn't seem to work with guarddog enabled but works when disabled. Does the DHT use a manually(during development) assigned port or does it use the same port assigned by TCP for UDP communications as well. :?:

I would work this out myself but I cannot find where guarddog logs rejected packets and the like, any ideas :?:

Once again thanks

It should use the same listen port.
