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?

Stop using your ISPs router and they're not going to have much control over it.

no they have firewall enabled on their side so even if I use my own router it won't do much.

That sounds weird and super invasive...where is this?

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
