[HOWTO] port forward rules for P2P emule :-)

polhallen

Hi all :)

I wish to help other users to create correct rules for emule P2P program (the goal is obtain HIGH ID :-)
I tested these rules with 2.3.2 version of pfsense… good luck :-p

"Default scenario":

MODEM <--> WAN [PFSENSE] <–> LAN0

WAN has address 192.168.200.2/30
LAN0 has address 192.168.1.200/24

CLIENT1 has address 192.168.1.10/24

On CLIENT1 we have emule (emule uses 2 ports):

from emule menu --> options --> connection:

TCP is 10991
UDP is 7812

you can change these port like you wish

Well, we need to create a new rule for port forward:

Firewall --> NAT --> Port Forward

Add

Interface: WAN
Protocol: TCP
Source: ANY
Destination: WAN address
Destination port range "OTHER" from port 10991 to "OTHER" port 10991
Redirect target IP: 192.168.1.10
Redirect target port "Other" 10991

Save it!!! and do same thing with a new rule changing protocol (from TCP) to UDP and fill with 7812 port.

Cheers!!!

Don't remember to check firewall on CLIENT1 (if there's ;-)
