Port Forwarding
Posted: Thu May 19, 2016 12:39 am
There is virtually no info about this and it is very very annoying - I am using a vpn - do I need to port forward? and what does port forward mean anyway? why dont people just say open port - I attempted to download a torrrent the same way I used to with utorrent and nothing is happening - the torrent shows up on the list but there is zero action - it is doing nothing - no, it is not paused. I have added a port to the vpn I am using - I have specified the same port in qtor connections options. What am I missing? pls dont tell me I have to add that port to the router settings - what is this? the stone age? I have no idea what im doing - I fix bridges, no..... The real kind, the kind you drive over...in a car... Remember those???? so please to not gobbledeegook me with fancy chit chat pls pls pls just say what to do as this is extremely annoying; I have been up all night, paid for and installed vpn, installed qtor and nothing, no action, no result. Cant one of the sites involved just come up with a simple guide of somekind??????????????
any help would be appreciated.........thank you
