Port forwarding

Post by BananaIceCream »

Hi,

I've set up a Gluetun docker container with a VPN with port forwarding and I've connected a qBittorrent container to it. When checking the forwarded port using portchecker.co, it says that its open. When I shut down the qBittorrent container, the says the port is closed. So to me, it seems like it's working properly.

A couple of torrents that I have only have peers and no seeders. I'm the only one that can still seed (and I have the completed files). But for some reason I'm unable to seed despite wanting to do so. Is this normal, or have I messed up something in my configuration?

Sounds like it's working. If you suspect that it isn't though then try and download the torrent yourself (the copy that you're seeding). That's the real test. If you can't then you did get something wrong along the way.
