October 12, 2025Oct 12 binhex-qbittorent - cannot get port forward to work.I do not use a VPN, so this a basic setup.I got it to work once, but once I restarted the container it stopped working, I tried a few things but now I'm unsure of where I'm at with, so had a do-over.The icon in qBittorretn shows as "Connection Status Firewlled"I have port 61006 set in qbittorent, UPnP/NAT disabled.I have this for the container172.17.0.3:61006/TCP <---> 192.168.1.10:61006172.17.0.3:61006/UDP <--->192.168.1.10:61006172.17.0.3:8080/TCP <---> 192.168.1.10:8080My router has this for TCP/UDPApp | binhex | EXT port 61006 | INT port 61006 | INT ADDRESSS 192.168.1.10 | SOURCE 192.168.1.10Should this be working or have I got it all wrong?I currently have a VM running qBittorrent and that works fine, different ports to the above.Also confused as to why docker ps show 0.0.0.0.

October 12, 2025Oct 12 Community Expert Solution What's that "source" in the router? Might need to be empty or it'd only forward stuff coming from the address specified which will never happen. Edited October 12, 2025Oct 12 by Kilrah
October 12, 2025Oct 12 Author I think you got it, I removed the source IP (192.168.1.10 - my unraid host) from the router port forward rule and after 30s the icon has turned green in qBittorrent.Hopefully it will survive a container reboot this time.Thank you!
