Servers Metallah and Alkaid (...could be others as well) seem to be blocking torrent port 6970, as I receive the error message from my torrent client "No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it." when trying to seed torrents from a particular site I frequently use on a regular basis. And yet, when I switch over and use another AirVPN server like Almach in Canada, the torrents seed just fine, no problem, no error message. I've been troubleshooting with the administrators of the torrent site, and they say that there are no problems on their end, that their tracker is working just fine, and that there are no issues with my account. Their recommendation is that there may be an issue with my VPN. That's why I tried connecting my torrent client through a couple of different AirVPN servers when I discovered what seems to be a problem with some of the AirVPN servers blocking torrent port 6970. I normally connect my torrent client using Metallah (...or one of the other US servers), but for the past 24 hours or so this has not been possible. What do you think could be going on?
