Port Forwarding woes

[moving shadow 1]

Greetings!  I cannot get the port forwarding to work for reasons unknown.



This photo shows what I have listed in the client forwarding area.  Both scratched out ports are the same number.





And here in SoulSeek (Well, nicotine+ client) I have the matching port number, with no typos, specified in the settings to match up with what was allocated to me from AirVPN.

Port check fails miserably, and I've tried other apps like torrents instead with the same result -- port is closed.

Not sure what else there is to do or what I'm doing wrong, any guidance would be great.  OS is an Arch Linux variant for aarch64 devices, running KDE desktop

Thanks kindly!

Did you configure UFW or iptables to allow the port through?
