So... not entirely sure what happened but I got it working. For posterity I will note what I did.
Yesterday I shut down Comodo firewall (i.e. exited the application). This did not solve the problem.
Today, I didnt quit comodo but turned off the firewall and defense security features. I also turned off Microsoft Security Essentials real-time protection. After doing this, I started the Boleh GUI, this worked. I then re-enabled the features one by one and they all seemed to work fine.
Not sure if it was on my end or not but just in case it was, this might help someone.
