Configuring qBittorrent properly (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I have been seeding torrents through utorrent (on windows) with no issues. But through this community's megathreads, I came across using qBittorrent, which seems more flexible and configurable.

But I'm having an issue seeding torrents over my favourite private trackers though. I'm on Linux, and no matter what I do, it flags an orange sign and hovering over it says "there is a configuration issue". The DHT number is non zero, and I'm currently trying to seed on two trackers.

Can someone share a guide on qbittorrent on how to properly configure it. Or a place (IRC, Matrix) where they could assist me? I've search online but haven't been lucky so far.

As a last resort, if there is a good alternative too, I'm ready to switch.

EDIT: thanks to everyone for comments and helping me out resolving this issue.

You are firewalled (not port forwarded / not connectable).

Like the other commenter said you need to port forward your torrent client's incoming connection port. You may need to log into your network router to do that.

Also make sure your OS firewall is allowing your torrent client access to the internet.

And also make sure to whitelist your torrent client in any anti-virus/malware software, sometimes those block torrent clients too.

On my router config, under port forwarding, I've forwarded a port range of 9000-31000. Now qBittorrent is using 30000.

For testing. I've stopped firewalld too. Still no luck.

You need to forward a single port not a whole range then in QBit set this port to that same port number.

I was just reusing the ports I've forwarded for i2p
