Firewalls are important, especially when using a peer-to-peer program like BearFlix, and although being behind a firewall doesn't prevent you from sharing to everyone (you can still upload files to some people), firewalls can still be a hindrance for you and other users.
It is almost impossible to establish a direct connection with another firewalled computer. Consequently, firewalled users will be unable to download files from you, and you'll be unable to download files from other firewalled users.You will see their files as "Unreachable" when you're firewalled, and that is exactly how other firewalled users see your files. Therefore, if at all possible, it is important to get rid of your firewalled status for sharing purposes.
