Emule, Kazaa and Astaro V4

Boddel · #1 (**permalink**) 02-08-2004, 02:20 PM

Hi everyone,
Does anybody know how to set up Astaro V4 to work with programms siuch as KazaaLite? I activated my Socks 5 server, but KazaaLite is not able to connect. There are some other programs that don´t work (emule for example). I think that Astaro blocks the ports of such programsms? Can anybody help me? Thanx for your answers!!!

Everything is blocked by default you have to open allowable ports. For instance what is the port range for the Kazza service ?

You would have define the port range in "services"
whatever that may be and then allow it....

By doing a dnat/snat
from any to external_interface service what ever you made in the definitons (kazza)

and then allow it in the packet filter....

Kazza makes a primary outgoing connection on TCP port 1214. Then subsequent incoming connections must be allowed for the connection to work.

We then need to create a Kazaa protocol definition.

Find out what ports that Kazza uses and make the rules to allow it to the network that you want to access it...

I use eMule and here is my setup. Define an eMule service(Definitions>Services) "Mule tcp/udp 1:65535 4661:4673" You can get away with only TCP port 4661 but some of the new technology for eMule(Kademlia) uses other ports. I will presume you have a network defined in Definitions>Networks for the computer using eMule named, for instance, "MyComp"

Then in Network>NAT/Masquerading set up a rule as follows if you Masquerade:
Rule Type: DNAT/SNAT
PACKETS TO MATCH
Source Address - :No Change: , Destination Address - External_Interface , Service - "eMule"
Change Source to: No Change
Change Destination to: "MyComp" , Service Destination: No Change

This works fine and I get many connections.
