Problem with Port Forwarding with Eddie and qBitTorrent

[bitterthundering 0]

Hi all,
I'm new to the entire Torrenting scene. So please try to assume I'm dumb, even though I'm usually literate with PC-stuff.

I'm trying to set up qBittorrent with AirVPN. I have requested a forwarded port from https://airvpn.org/ports/

I now have a port number. But if I click on "Test open" it gives me a "Connection timed out (110)" on the ports. Similar checking websites also tell me the port is closed.

Do I need to enter the number somewhere in my Eddie-program? I am unsure of how I can open this port any further.

From reading the FAQs and stuff I guess I need to somehow open a port on my PC as well? But I'm unsure of what, where and how.

Thank you for any help,
bitterthundering
