ubuntu + qbt + airvpn = stalled

[daif 0]

Hey guys, I'm struggling to get my qbt to work correctly with AirVPN. I've been yelling at chatgpt to check everything and it should work - but it's not.

qbt version - 4.4.1.
Ubuntu 22.04 LTS

I've used eddie (with tcp/utp on/off,etc) and the OpenVPN, my qbt is erroring out on stalled.
I have added my port - 45578 (upnp / NAT - unchecked) to my qbt, and made sure my network int is set to  wg-airvpn. ip is set to all interfaces. I have also added 45578 rules to ufw.

I'm also testing with pub Linux torrents - Fedora, LinuxMint, Debian, Ubuntu and Kali - they all start, then the status changes to Stalled. (I added the torrents and don't see any peers)

I'm sure I'm missing something, just not sure what.

Can you connect on <AirVPN exit IP>:45578 yourself?
