uPNP vs Port Blocking.
#1
So on my home network, I've blocked the WoW port 3724, but I can still log in...

Does uPNP allow the WoW login/authentication server to bypass the port block somehow? I'm trying to block my roommate from playing WoW 8 hours a day.

I'm wondering if this will affect my torrenting though?

If I have uPNP off, won't it screw with my torrents' listening ports? Then again I could custom assign a port and then set that same port in Bitcomet.

I might just have to test when I get home from work, I'm just wondering if anyone out there more experienced than myself in blocking programs knows the answer to that.
