Just enable the UPnP/NAT-PMP plugin under tools -> options -> plugins -> UPnP and set it to report everything to get some feedback, once it works you can turn the messages off again. Sadly some routers that claim to support UPnP don’t interoperate with Vuze correctly, if that’s the case have a look at point a).

How do I enable Vuze on my firewall?

To verify Vuze is setup in Windows Firewall correctly, follow these steps on Windows 7:

  1. Close Vuze if it’s already running.
  2. In Control Panel, select System Security.
  3. Click “Allow a program through Windows Firewall.
  4. Find “Azureus” or “Azureus / Vuze”, and ensure BOTH Public and Private checkboxes are checked.

How do I setup port forwarding for Vuze?

So what can I do about it if I’m already blacklisted? Edit

  1. Choose a new TCP listening port for Vuze.
  2. Go into your router and/or firewall, if any, and forward the port you have chosen using the methods as described in Port forwarding and NAT problem.
  3. Stop all your actively running torrents.
  4. Quit Vuze.
  5. Wait a few minutes.

How do I configure Windows Firewall to allow Vuze to run?

In Control Panel, select System Security Click “Allow a program through Windows Firewall Find “Azureus” or “Azureus / Vuze”, and ensure BOTH Public and Private checkboxes are checked If one or both are unchecked, click “Change Settings”

Setup port forwarding by setting up rules to forward Vuze’ listening ports (UDP and TCP) as external ports to the IP of your computer and the same ports on your computer. Note: The exact wording is different for each router, thus it might be called port forwarding, opening pinholes through the firewall, NAT rules, virtual server or something else.

Does Vuze work with UPnP routers?

Sadly some routers that claim to support UPnP don’t interoperate with Vuze correctly, if that’s the case have a look at point a). 5.1 STILL Not Working?

Why can’t I connect to Vuze on my Network?

Ensure you are using a port number that is not already reserved by a computer process or PC on your network, or that is possibly being blacklisted/throttled by your ISP. (Avoid 6881-6999. Anything from 49160-65534 is fine) Create a static IP address for the computer that is running Vuze.
