      Hi.  I an using Vuze for torrenting.  I go to Help, NAT/Firewall test and it says it is using 15571 for TCP and UDP listen ports.  I setup NAT in pF:

      If
      WAN
      Proto
      TCP/UDP
      Src. addr
      *
      Src. ports
      *
      Dest. addr
      *
      Dest. ports
      15571
      NAT IP
      192.168.1.109
      NAT Ports
      15571
      Description
      Bittorrent

      The firewall rule is:

      Proto
      IPv4 TCP/UDP
      Source
      *
      Port
      *
      Destination
      192.168.1.109
      Port
      15571
      Gateway
      *
      Queue
      none
      Schedule

      Description
      NAT Bittorrent

      When I test TCP incoming, it works fine.  When I test UDP, it fails.  Both rules though are set for TCP/UDP, so I'm not sure why it would fail….?

        One thing I see not quite right is in your nat you have no dest address.  This should be your wan interface IP.

        see attached nat that works just fine with udp.  My ntp server is serving up lots of clients since it is a member of the ntp pool
