Avoid using IPV6 ULA for outgoing connections
Posted: Mon Sep 18, 2023 11:24 am
Hello!
I have 2 GUA IPv6 addresses and one ULA (fd00:xxx) on my interface.
qBittorrent sometimes select the ULA address for outgoing connections which won't work because the reply from the peer will never ever reach my system.
When connecting to IPv6 GUA, always a GUA address of the system can be used.
A temporary workaround is to explicitly set the IPv6 address in the advanced settings.
Is that a problem in QBittorrent, libtorrent or on my Debian system itself?
/etc/gai.conf doesn't have any settings enabled.
Kind regards
