UPnP port 4433
« on: August 22, 2012, 02:26:20 AM »
Hey guys,

So I used my default torrent port 60000 as the listening port for incoming connections.
Everything looks fine. I also enabled upnp.

But when I look in my router(dd-wrt) I see an extra port, port 4433.
The two ports open when I open qB on my pc. These are 60000 tcp, 60000 udp and 4433 tcp (check the included logs from qB and dd-wrt(router))

I don't see this port anywhere mentioned in the configuration or even the conf file.
The port isn't mentioned anywhere on the forums and a google search doesn't answer the question either.

Can anyone tell me why this port is being opened on my router, without my consent?

Thx in advance.

Could it be the "Check for software updates" function that uses this port?

This port is used for ssl torrents.
From libtorrent documentation:
Quote
ssl_listen sets the listen port for SSL connections. If this is set to 0, no SSL listen port is opened. Otherwise a socket is opened on this port. This setting is only taken into account when opening the regular listen port, and won't re-open the listen socket simply by changing this setting.

It defaults to port 4433.

There is no option to control this port in qBittorrent unfortunately.

Thx for your guys' responses.

So from what I understand, is that this listening port is used for enabling SSL torrents. (in combination with openssl, which I don't see anywhere mentioned in qB).
A feature from the libtorrent platform, that is enabled in qB as a default setting.

Maybe it's an idea to propose a new feature in qB which enables you to turn this off.
If I should believe the sentence below from the manual, it shouldnt be hard for the devs.

To not listen on an SSL socket at all, set ssl_listen to 0.http://www.rasterbar.com/products/libtorrent/manual.html

Thx.

Interesting. I've never seen any SSL-enabled torrents with embedded certs.

Guess I will switch to port 4433 for my torrenting.
Better one, then two ports open.

Torrenting over ssl seems to be the way to go in the future.
Trackerless bittorrenting with encrypted traffic.  8)

May be an idea for Demonoid v2.  ;D

qBittorrent v3.0.7 will no longer listen on port 4433. I have disabled it for now since we do not technically support SSL torrents at this point.
