a stupid naive question
Hello,
I am using qbittorrent for torrenting and my ISP has refused to open up firewall because of fucking "security" reasons. however I can still seed the torrent how is that possible? I mean all the incoming connections should be blocked right? isn't it how firewall works?
You're viewing a single thread.
VPN with port forwarding should work. No way your ISP can block that
E.g. PIA
I've used this for years. Works great.
Except that no good VPN does this anymore (I believe Mullvad was one of the last to pull the service and cited massive headaches due to CP violations). So if you find one that does, it's most likely pretty sketch or just not that secure.
ProtonVPN?
It’s a song and dance on macOS and Linux but yes they do: https://protonvpn.com/support/port-forwarding-manual-setup/
Yes, ProtonVPN still provides port forwarding. They randomly assign you a single port every time you connect, so you'll have to update the settings in qB occasionally, but it's manageable.
There's AirVPN
PIA works for me a long time now. It's cheap and faster than my Internet connection so it ticks all the boxes for me.
