os: xubuntu 24.04
firewall: ufw
torrent program: transmission
On transmission I opened port 51401
On a terminal I executed sudo ufw allow 51401, which opens both tcp and udp ports for both ipv4 and ipv6. This is called forwarding, right?
I’m following https://github.com/transmission/transmission/blob/main/docs/Port-Forwarding-Guide.md but apparently I still don’t get it
ETA: thanks for your input, issue has been solved
You can still torrent without forwarding a port, for example by only making outgoing connections. But that may limit your speed, and figuring out forwarding should help.
