Mosestylez 0 Posted ... Hello everyone, I'm a new user to AirVPN, and just installed Eddie, requested a port (random one) and connected to a VPN server (I've picked over 10 all over the world). Whenever I try to test out if port forward is working when I click "Test open" I always end up with Connection Timed out (110). I even tried Canyouseeme.org, same issue there. Does anyone knows why and what I'm doing wrong? I didn't have these kind of issues when I used Mullvad (before they removed Port forwarding) Share this post Link to post
fishbasketballaries 17 Posted ... What software are you trying forward ports for? I had a similar issue once with qBittorrent and discovered it was because it was configured to use the wrong network interface. For OpenVPN (on Linux), it's 'tun0', and WireGuard, it's 'Eddie'.

Wait so it's not recommended to use AirVPNs software, Eddie? 😮 Which one should we use instead of Eddie? It's Qbittorrent I'm trying and also other random softwares, but nothing seems to work.

Port forwarding should work regardless of what software and/or protocol you use to connect. What network interface is qBittorrent using? Open your preferences->Advanced->Network interface.

roklipni 0 Posted ... Strangely enough I have the same issue. I have set a port in the Client Area, assigned it to the device, used the same one in qBittorrent and it is still showing as firewalled. I am using a QNAP NAS, the interface is Wireguard in qVPN, and qB is bound to the wg interface and IP. Testing in AirVPN times out. I am almost certain it worked before, but I have not changed anything. Share this post Link to post
ScarAtlas 0 Posted ... I am getting frustrated. the port forwarding was working earlier with qbittorrent but later stopped when I disconnected and did the port test on airvpn and I also noticed that disconnect from the server or connect again the connection timed out appears regardless. I already tried adding the stupid port number to my port foward on my router and still has the same issue. Been working on this thing for 2 hrs looking at the forums and trying to understand as noob. This is so stupid. What is ufw ?????EDIT by Staff: problem solved, "I just needed to allow windows firewall on my computer to allow the port and it worked fine." Share this post Link to post
