These indicate you're not properly connected and that you're behind a firewall which is rejecting too much. 1 harascarlett44 reacted to this Quote Hide giganerd's signature Hide all signatures Four simple things:There's a guide to AirVPN.

bluesjunior 26 Posted ... Unsure if this will help but the last few weeks I had been getting problems with qBittorrent where I would be downloading fine and the shift to a new site or page in my browser and everything would freeze up. My only way out was to exit both browser and qBittorrent choose a new server in AirVPN and then open my browser and qBittorrent again. Sometimes this solved it for the session and sometimes I would have to repeat. Now I only use AirVPN and QBittorrent for a couple of hours daily the rest of the time I am on an open connection. I had tried to find out what was causing this but not being a tekkie type I found no solutions. However three days ago I visited the qBittorrents site and found the following post and which I implemented the advice offered and have had no problems since (touch wood). I thibk it had something to do with UPn'P being on but like I say not sure. Hope it helps anyway. https://qbforums.shiki.hu/index.php/topic,7101.0.html 1 harascarlett44 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post

This one is known to cause strange behavior of torrent clients in a VPN tunnel. Quote Hide giganerd's signature Hide all signatures Four simple things:There's a guide to AirVPN.
