Address is protected

Post by Oyvi88 »

Hello dear people! :)

I have a major issue with Qbittorrent at the moment. I am trying to setup the WebUI, but i cant seem to get it to work. I keep getting the error: "WebUI configuration failed. Reason: Unable to bind 192.168.10.99, port 8080. Reason: The address is protected.".

I have tried IP: 0.0.0.0, 127.0.0.0, *, different IP's thats available on my network ..
The IP that is bound atm is the IP to the computer running Qbittorrent. It is a windows 10 machine.

I have tried:
* Disable firewall completely
* Adding a rule for qbittorrent in my firewall (in and out)
* Adding a rule for port 8080 in my firewall (in and out)
* Reinstalling Qbittorrent

I really need the WebUI to integrate with Prowlarr. If anyone can help me it is much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Why not just move the port by a bit? Like 8081 or even higher?
