Hello,

I am using qbittorrent for torrenting and my ISP has refused to open up firewall because of fucking “security” reasons. however I can still seed the torrent how is that possible? I mean all the incoming connections should be blocked right? isn’t it how firewall works?

    Maybe not, but you and I definitely dont, so let’s stick to what they’re actually saying instead of guessing.

      You commented that it’s “super weird and invasive” for an ISP to “firewall” listening ports. It just so happens that CGNAT also has the same effect and is super commonly used right now.

      I think I’m good 👍
