As the title says, I noticed that connection status was offline but also the port forwarding port had changed in PIA (as it does sometimes) so I changed it in qBitorrent but connection status remained offline.
Things I tried:
- double-checked in advanced settings that i am using the PIA interface
- restarted qBitorrent
- went to ipleak.net and tried the magnet link for Torrent Address detection. It did not work for qBitorrent. I then tried the same with utorrent and it seems to work. Also, in general, the VPN works and in whatismyipaddress I see the PIA address, nit the real one.
So, it seems to be something qbitorrent specific. Any help would be appreciated...
Suddenly qBitorrent doesnt work with PIA VPN
Re: Suddenly qBitorrent doesnt work with PIA VPN
Double check the network interface you've selected.
When QB wasn't working for me I noticed there were two "wgpia0" interfaces in the list. I had to switch to the top one (and then the bottom one disappeared). Note: I'm using Wireguard in PIA.
