ANSWERED Issue: AirVPN Port Test Fails with Error 110 Despite qBittorrent Being Connectable

[Pestermess 0]

Hello everyone,

I’m fairly new to VPNs and port forwarding, and I recently joined a few private trackers that recommend using a VPN with port forwarding enabled. I’m currently using AirVPN with qBittorrent and could use some help troubleshooting an issue.

qBittorrent shows the green connection icon and reports that I’m connectable, but when I test the exact same port on AirVPN’s website, I receive error code 110. I’ve followed several tutorials and double-checked my settings, but I’m still not sure what I might have configured incorrectly.

Based on qBittorrent showing that I’m connectable, does that mean everything is actually working as intended, or is the failed AirVPN port test a sign that something is still wrong?

I’m also starting to learn Docker, so any clear explanations or simple troubleshooting steps would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hello!

By testing your port we can see that your qBittorrent program is now reachable from the Internet (on your system connected to the VPN). We suppose you resolved the problem, can you confirm? If so, can you specify for the readers how you addressed the problem?

Kind regards

I'm still running into issues and could use some guidance. I'm new to this and can't seem to find any settings that help.

I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed trying to get qBittorrent working in Docker on my Ubuntu VM. My Windows client works perfectly, so I'm not sure why I'm having so many problems on Ubuntu. Edited ... by Pestermess

Hello!

It's already a VM: in order to simplify the setup you may consider not to have an additional virtualization (a Docker's container) inside the VM at the moment. Just connect the VM (via Eddie Linux edition, for example, to make things simpler), configure and run qBittorrent directly to get acquainted with it. Please follow this guide to configure a torrent program: https://airvpn.org/faq/p2p/

Only after you have everything up and running properly in the VM you may consider the complication to run another container inside the Ubuntu virtual machine (and ask yourself: is it really necessary?).

Kind regards

Hello!

An additional suggestion: upgrade your qBittorrent software if you're running an older than 5 version. In the last days various customers resolved previous network problems with qBittorrent by upgrading.

Kind regards

Hello!

We can see now that your qBittorrent is reachable on all the VPN servers your systems are connected to. Can you confirm that the problem is resolved?

Yes, everything is working fine now. I hadn’t set Gluetun’s port to match the AirVPN port.
