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.

    I’m using mullvad and having the same issue, randomising the port still fixes it most of the time but there must be a better way. Was hoping for a solution 🫠

      Mullvad does not have port forwarding so it would be normal for your torrent client to be firewalled.

      I’m not too sure why you & OP sometimes see it as temporarily connectable when changing/randomizing the incoming port when the VPN service never provided you an open port forward.
