Port Forwarding Connection timed out when I restart

[Tarman 0]

For years port forwarding has not stayed working for me and I'm wondering if this is by design, or something I can fix?

I was just using the AirVPN client with qbtitorrent on a Windows box, but recently switched over to Docker/Gluetun. Everything works great, but the port stops working (test open fails), usually on a reboot or perhaps when it's just not in use. The only way to get it to work again is to create a new port on airvpn.org, configure and restart my services. But that kind of defeats the purpose now of my streamlining everything in my Docker.
