Port isn't staying open

[Huuva 0]

Hello

I don't know why but for some reason the port I have set up isn't staying open, every 6-7 days I have to set up a new port to forward.

Just me or happening for everyone?

once the port is assigned in air side it does not go away

if its not staying open then something in not configured correctly

There isn't much to configure, select p2p and add... Nothing more I can do on my end...

It happend again just now, seems to be on a 7 day interval...

if you reboot router, what will happen?

So as I understand, now you need to each 7d remove Port eg. 55555 on AirVPN client page and add it again 55555?

I'm just testing this VPN, finally i configure it to some working state on Mikrotik router...so will see after 7d

I am not sure how you are losing ports, I've had the same ports that I requested for 3 years or more from pool 1.
Unless you remove it, it does not go away

Assigned ports do not disappear from your account ever, unless your premium subscription expires, in which case you will lose your ports in 7 days.

If they still do, you should open a support ticket and find a solution with staff.

The port doesn't disappear, it just goes from open to closed after 6-7 days. My premium access expires in 1115 days.

It happened again yesterday but seems to be just me so I will check what qbittorrent is doing next time as I only use the port for that docker.

Hello!

This is a not infrequent situation with those containers that destroy the tunnel at each VPN re-connection. Please see here for a specific GlueTun case and an effective mitigation:

In general, if there's no way to prevent tunnel destruction and rebuild, re-starting qBittorrent (or anyway the listening program) could be the only solution.

Kind regards

Thanks, I will try to restart qBittorrent next time, is that helps, the solution is easily fixed with a script 🙂
