Hello,

I am using qbittorrent for torrenting and my ISP has refused to open up firewall because of fucking “security” reasons. however I can still seed the torrent how is that possible? I mean all the incoming connections should be blocked right? isn’t it how firewall works?

They’re probably just using CGNAT.

That’s not a firewall though, which is what OP mentions.

Does OP really know exactly what technology at his ISP is preventing him from “opening ports”?

Maybe not, but you and I definitely dont, so let’s stick to what they’re actually saying instead of guessing.

Yes I know what’s preventing me from opening ports. I also called my ISP they said we can’t open the firewall so the incoming connections will be blocked.

It’s definitely not CGNAT. I have tested it using traceroute.
