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?

Ipv4 shortage lead to a lot of IPS adopting CG-NATs where they are sharing one exit IPv4 for multiple end users and that’s why opening a port on the end user side won’t do a thing as your just opening a port in the ISP Network and not to the Internet
