I have been using this config for qBittorrent for awhile and been working for the most part. Sometimes it gets “connection status: Firewalled” I would fix this by going to settings -> connection and click the “Random” button a couple times and save and then it would work again. This seems to not work anymore. Is there a better fix for this? Back before I used docker I don’t remember ever having to do this. I have never done any kind of manual port forwarding my current VPN provider does not do that at the price I have it for right now. Let me know if you need more information about my setup or something

Thanks I guess it is just randomly breaks for now since it appears to be back.

    So your saying it should have never worked even if I was not using docker?

    Correct.

    Also it’s now working… I have no idea

    Yeah that’s weird, I don’t know if you accidentally found a way to hack Windscribe into temporarily giving you a port forward on their free plan. But otherwise you do need to be a paid member on their Pro account for that feature.

    Or it’s just going to randomly stop working again.

    Is there a way to actually test your port forward within Docker? I’m not familiar enough with that configuration to suggest anything but maybe someone else knows about that. Usually without Docker I’d just start up the torrent client & then use a web browser with any port test website (https://www.canyouseeme.org, https://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports, etc.). But for Docker not too sure how to go about that.
