I'm having this issue as well. I tried to do port forwarding, but my router doesn't have a port forwarding section in the internal settings. Am I screwed?
I seriously doubt this… Now, it may be that the port forwarding option is locked out to your provider, which I have seen before, but it is virtually impossible NOT to have a port forwarding option, unless there is no NAT between your local LAN and the internet, which is very unlikely.
I may be able to assist you with this a little more in depth, and perhaps assist you with poking around in your router.
Also, FWIW, if you're using a SOCKS4 or SOCKS 5 proxy server, it is very likely that the proxy itself is where your problem lies. If you are concerned about your privacy online, I would recommend a full VPN for many reasons. Simply put, it is a far superior method of protection, and it's a lot easier to get it working.
I've tried a VPN but it hasn't worked as well. What can I do now? I have a bunch of files to upload and seed but I can do it My router doesn't have the port forward either.
Every router has a port forwarding option. Depending on your provider and the equipment that the provided however, it may not be possible to access the port forwarding option.
As for the VPN option, you need to be using a VPN server that supports port forwarding, and you need to be using the port that the VPN forwards, unless you are using a VPN server that forwards all ports. If that's the case, simply turning on the VPN will bypass the problem, even if port forwarding is not enabled on your home network.
What VPN program has all these settings?
I am using Private VPN. Most of their servers only forward one port, which it will tell you about in the VPN app itself. There are a few VPN servers that they have however, which forward ALL ports through to your computer.
