Should i enable nat pmp12/23/2023 ![]() If you’ve ever used a wireless speaker or printer, you’ve used UPnP. It’s a commonly used protocol that lets a new device discover other devices on your network and have remote access to them. there has been scanty information online regarding this particular setting despite numerous people asking about it on forums.Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is a convenient solution to connect devices to your Wi-Fi network. the dht is working whether it's through manual port or uPNP.ĭo update us on your experience so far. my torrents are mainly off the internet, so i think they use public trackers. ![]() i'm getting avg 4-7MiB/s down and 3-5MiB/s up, depending on how active is the swarm. the point is, there's no change in speed whether it's through uPNP or through manual forwarding.įor me, my isp doesn't throttle torrent clients, i don't have vpn, i have a 300mbps fibre plan and i download/seed via wifi. So the initial firewall warning was probably due to some glitch that got ironed out with a restart. the green light remained, which means my connections are open. interestingly, over the ensuing timeframe, i did not notice any change in upload/download speeds, with uPNP selected or deselected. i made sure the deselect the upnp in qbit and also made sure the manual port is open on canyouseeme.Ī couple of days later i was clicking around the qbit settings and found that upnp has been reselected? not sure when it was re-enabled, probably it automatically came back on during a reboot. so i manually set up a forwarding port on the router, restarted both the router and the rpi, and the green light came back on. Then i woke up one fine morning to realize that it has been firewalled (?) even though it's a barebones debian distro with no firewall installed. so far the download/upload speeds are decent, and the green light at the bottom indicates that the connection is through. i'm using a raspberry pi headless qbtnox setup. Hence, if you set up manual port forwarding, you should deselect the option "use upnp."įor me, i enabled upnp as it was the default option. I know this is probably super outdated, but based on this page, it seems that upnp and manual port forwarding is mutually exclusive - you either choose 1 or another. So OP, did you manage to figure out an answer to your question eventually? "Same with the DHT/PeX/anonymous stuff, if you are on VPN this makes absolutely no sense" QBtorrent Prefs say: "If you're using VPN, proxy or I2P, you probably want to enable Anonymous Mode." qBittorrent's default settings are not customized towards VPN users, just general torrent client users. When not using a VPN uPnP / NAT-PMP is helpful. I have read various opinions on when you should check the option in qBittorrent to "use UPnP / NAT-PMP port forwarding from my router". Execution Log shows "Successfully Listening" on all ports and IP addresses.Looking at torrents it says (DHT, Pex, LPD) Status "is working".Privacy settings checked (DHT, PeX, LPD, Require Encryption, Enable anonymous mode).Connections limits are set to defaults (500,100,8,4).Deselected "use UPnP / NAT-PMP port forwarding from my router".Entered the port I opened in my router into the "port used for incoming connections".I have opened a port in AirPort Extreme, and am using NAT-PMP on the router. I use PIA VPN but I am not using their forwarded port because it causes download speeds to slow way, way down to less than a 1/4 of the speed. ![]() ![]() I am getting no DHT nodes at all with these settings and, what I think is, a slow seeding rate of 100-400kiB/s Should this be used when manually forwarding a port? Does this description mean, "use the forwarded port I created in my router" OR "use the UPnP/NAT-PMP features of my router"? The description is a bit confusing to me. ![]()
