I’ve been on and off been having issues connecting to seeds and peers for anything I download with qbit lately. I have ProtonVPN and I am connected to p2p servers, some torrents are stuck at 0(0) whereas some will be stuck at 0(2817).
I have made sure the port in qbit is set correctly and the interface device, along with opening the port on my router. Ultimately what seems to work is I have to change the port several times, change the interface to ethernet, then back to Proton, then a single download works. Any tips for a fellow pirate?
When using a VPN, your own router should not be involved in port forwarding. Proton must support port forwarding with p2p traffic, the specific VPN software you use must be setup to use Proton’s port forwarding, and your qbittorrent must be properly configured to use the correct port
Not having to update the router port sure makes things easier, especially since Proton changes the port at times.
I believe I have found the issue, it appears split tunneling is broken right now. As soon as I disabled it, suddenly got seeds and was able to seed again. Shame split tunneling is not working again, as I need it off for local hosting certain games.
Are you on Arch? Because I am facing the exact same split tunneling issues using PIA VPN
Of course not, he would have announced it already if he was
