Port forwarding

Post by Overkill »

Hi guys.
How do I forward a port in Linux for bittorrent?
I'm using the latest version of Transmission.

I believe port forwarding is done via your router, so I'd look within its configuration settings.

I finally figured out that Firejail was the culprit!
How do I protect my bittorrent clients without causing any problems with seeding and being connectable if that's possible?

Great! The culprit to what? :)

I don't use BitTorrent clients often, but for me, Deluge appears to run within Firejail without incident.

It was interfering in my connection as far as seeding goes
