VPN is connected. I have gotten bursts of up to 180kbps downloads that slowly deteriorate to nothing. Currently sitting at 0 upload, 0 download. Collecting bonus points for seeding I guess? But I have no idea what the issue is. I tried switching to a random port and I saw some activity for a couple seconds, but it quickly went to 0 again. I’m so tilted.
Sorry, I’m on mobile and I’m not sure if the commenter removed their post so my comment lost context but I can’t see their comment in my post on mobile for some reason.
While the file is downloading I do not see any uploading happening either. I was messing around trying to set up a vpn docker container last night and couldn’t get everything playing nicely but I’m not even seeing any downloading going on anymore either.
Docker ports are 1:1 mapped. 63430:63430. I’ve mapped all the ports 1:1, added them to the firewall for tcp and udp on the device AND port forwarded them through the modem.
Separately, I’m also getting 0 upload on other devices that aren’t docker containers. Seems like my ISP is just blocking all upload traffic. I see peers connect and disconnect.
I shouldn’t be, I own a single family home. I’ll research this further though.
Yeah, I’m definitely not behind a CGNAT.
I can, yes.
Excellent questions.
I do not download and upload at the same time.
The server is exclusively wired so I can’t try it on a hotspot but I can try connecting my laptop to a hotspot and check connections between them. I don’t have friends or family or a friendly network I can try anywhere nearby, unfortunately.
I can try creating a torrent sometime soon but I need to take a break. I’m starting to see the terminal when I close my eyes.
I hopped between distros for a long time. Before writing Linux off I suggest giving MX-Linux a shot. I’ve been loving it. It’s super solid. My only issue with it is that I can’t seem to get the right power settings set for closing my laptop but it’s probably something I’m doing wrong.
