Torrent Web UI not working when forwarded to different port

Recommended Posts

Ive been using airvpn for a while and have all my apps working well remotely.

 

Recently my uTorrent stopped being reachable remotley, I tried to change ports / settings but nothing seemed to work.

 

So I decided it was time to switch clients anyway and started using qBittorrent. But this has had the exact same problem.

 

It started driving me mad so decided to do a troubleshoot test:

 

I turned off my VPN and forward the webui port through my router and tried to connect remotley that way. It Worked.

 

So then I forwarded the webui port to a different port number and tried to connect remotely through that port. It Did NOT Work.

 

Just to make sure I tried the same method, different port number, with a another app (sabnzbd). It Worked.

 

So I dont think its fully a VPN problem.

 

 

Next I removed all router forwarding and re enabled my VPN.

 

In AirVPN i chose a new port number and forwarded it to be the same as local port and used that in qTorrent web ui. It Did NOT Work.

 

So Im at a loss. Any ideas?

 

 

 

Torrents download great on a separate port this is just for the remote web ui.

No UPNP or Router Port forwarding

Ports are all open when checked on AirVPN and Port Checkers.

 

Thanks )

So turned out the last attempt of using the same remote and local port worked.

Still not sure why I cant forward a remote port to a standard local port in either torrent client.

Hello!

 

That's caused by how a torrent client works. It announces directly inside the packets the port you configure in it. More details in the answers to the FAQ:

Kind regards
