In a specific older qBittorrent version (we can't find which exact one at the moment, we're sorry) it was necessary to set "Tools" > "Preferences" > "Advanced" > "Optional IP address to bind to" combo box into "All IPv4 addresses". If it was set to "All IP addresses" the app responded only to IPv6 on FreeBSD systems (we guess on macOS too, therefore). This problem has been fixed at least six months ago, as far as we can see. Kind regards

I had exactly the same problem with Transmission on mac. As a preriquisite beware to enable the port forwarding in AirVPN as stated before and report the port number in Transmission (Preferences/Network/Peer listening port), the light will turn green. Please do not use Randomize port on launch and Automatically map port (feature for your router with UpnP or setup a NATing) as it is useless with a VPN and bad for its security. The solution is to simply turn on the mac firewall (System Preferences/Security&Privacy/Firewall) and add the Transmission app with the rule Allow incoming connections. You should start to seed close to immediately if you have enough torrents... This solution surprisingly do not work with Private Internet Access as an example despite supporting the port forwarding.

Hello! We confirm the problem and we could determine that both the domain name authoritative DNS and the web site block the Taiwan server. Packets get out regularly from the server and from Taiwan but they are black holed by the final destination datacenters. Furthermore the authoritative DNS does not answer to our DNS server in Taiwan (this is a lesser problem as you could resolve the name through some other public DNS or the hosts file). We don't know the reasons of this behavior. If you query Democracy Now and you receive a reply please let us know. In the meantime we can "micro-route" Democracy Now web site from Sulafat, we will examine how to do it soon. Yes, this is in the official ISO-3166 that Eddie uses to find areas names assigned by the United Nations. According to a previous administrative division, Taiwan is the biggest province of the Republic of China (ROC), not to be confused with People's Republic of China (PRC, mainland China). By using Taiwan as the country's name, "Province of China" is also a definition pushed by PRC at all levels (from UN to NGOs) to shape two ideas: that PRC must "re-unify" with Taiwan and that when you say "China" you don't talk about the Republic of China, but about the PRC (even PRC detractors fall prey of this propaganda as we can see from this thread). In this sense ISO-3166-2:TW entry could be seen as a concession to PRC narrative and the PRC can "play" over the ambiguity of the definition. In the next version we may either stay with this one, according to the United Nations status (but see here for some arguments against this), or censor the ISO document itself. A UN spokesperson’s statement in May 2024, reiterating that Taiwan is a province of China (referring to PRC and not ROC according to directly or indirectly PRC controlled media), guided by the General Assembly resolution of 1971 (Resolution 2758), is important to see how much energy PRC spends to affirm the notion that there is only one China and this only China is PRC and not ROC. On the other hand, we have been fighting and circumventing mainland China (PRC) censorship for 14 years, we recognize China (PRC) as a country enemy of the Internet, controlled by a regime hostile to various human rights, and in reality resolution 2758 interpretation may have been distorted by PRC.. Therefore ISO-3166-2:TW unilateral modification to delete "Province of China" is not unreasonable for us. The matter will be discussed. However, to insinuate that the normal software usage of an ISO document to translate or find a country/area name means that AirVPN endorses PRC (or PRC alleged wet dream to invade Taiwan) or that AirVPN fails its mission after all the sacrifices brought on to circumvent censorship in mainland China is offensive to say the least, or not in good faith in the worst case. The very fact that we list the server in Taiwan with Taiwan as a country tells a lot, as today Taiwan is recognized as a country only by 12 countries in the world. Kind regards

Nope, this is the correct designation. Taiwan province is part of The People's Republic Of China and will be peacefully reunited one day.
