If you want to use BitTorrent or eMule on pc protected by a Cisco ASA 5505, you have to open some ports on your Cisco firewall in order to download at full speed.
To do this, try these rules in your firewall configuration:
access-list outside_access_in extended permit tcp any interface outside eq XXXX
static (inside,outside) tcp interface XXXX 192.168.1.4 XXXX netmask 255.255.255.255
Replace XXXX with the port number you need to open (e.g. 4662 TCP and 4672 UDP for eMule)
Replace 192.168.1.4 with your pc private lan IP.
good
hmmm… this doesn’t seem to work for me.
I get this in my SSH:
DALUX-FALUN-FW-01# access-list outside_access_in extended permit tcp any inter$
access-list outside_access_in extended permit tcp any interface outside eq 4669
^
ERROR: % Invalid input detected at ‘^’ marker.
DALUX-FALUN-FW-01#
the ^ is under the second “c” in “access-list”…
Thanks dude, this really worked! I’ve been looking for a fix like this for days and days now!
andreas, you need to be in config mode.
