qBittorrent official forums

Hi everyone, hope you're all well.
Up until a few days ago all was well, then nothing would download and and the yellowish icon next to DHT at bottom says "No direct connection".
I use Express VPN.

Now, I've played around with ports via windows defender making sure inbound and outbound ports are active, but nothing works.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I have installed an older version of 4.3.9 and that works.
