      we ran out of IPv4 addresses quite some time ago. the likelihood of being on a carrier grade NAT is pretty high.

      and if you’re lucky enough to have access a direct IPv4 address (also a premium feature and priced as such) your ISP can still be blocking certain ports.

      and on top of all that what @[email protected] said

        that’s no problem here because bittorrent can run on any port. qbittorrent randomizes it at install
