I am not sure if this is the correct place to post this or not. I am looking for help trying to figure out how to do port forwarding with deluge vpn. I just installed it last night, and set it up exactly how it is shown in the updated spaceinvader one youtube video, complete with PIA vpn set to Netherlands because they apparently allow for port forwarding. The trouble is, nowhere in the video does it say how to set up port forwarding.
I have the fastest internet available around me which is advertised as 60 mb/s, and speed test shows that I get 60-65. Yet the highest I have seen a single torrent dl go is approx. 500 kb/s.
I have been googling, trying to figure out how to do this, but can't seem to find anything online about it. The only things I have found are suggestions not to use the Netherlands as my access point, stating it is slower than others. There are also others saying that port forwarding doesn't do anything with pia and deluge vpn? And still others touting the plugin itconfig as some magic cure to all speed issues. I am trying to avoid changing anything from the settings that I saw in the video until I have ruled out the port forwarding that was mentioned as a fix.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Edit: I think I have found info about how to port forward my asus RT-AC68U router, and it looks simple enough. I will need to plug in my IP, which I have set to static. But I will also need to plug in a port number. Not 100% certain which one to plug in, or if I do multiple ones? I used 8118 to route sonarr and radarr though my vpn like instructed in spaceinvader one's videos. Is that what I use?
