New downloads are stalled for 2 days.

@chubinky30 because you are using NordLynx protocol, the DNS settings should be applied to the NordLynx adapter. As you can see in the list, the adapter that you modified is inactive.
-
other than that you did it correctly, just the wrong adapter
-
@ianfontinell-0 I tried switching to OpenVPN (TCP and UDP) but can't connect to the internet after that. I also tried manually changing the DNS for NordLynx, but it won't let me connect to internet too and it changes every time I restart Nord.
-
@chubinky30 ooh you have the custom dns option in the app settings, i thought nordvpn didn't have that! you ony need to use that option instead of doing it manually
-
@ianfontinell-0 It has slots. Do I need to choose between Google and AdGuard? or should use both?
-
@chubinky30 you will type only 1 DNS address, for example if you want to use Google you must enter a single 8 in each slot. If you want to use AdGuard you enter 94 140 14 14

@ianfontinell-0 Added the custom DNS and restarted my PC. Unfortunately, downloading is still stalled after multiple rechecking and reannounce.
Tested this freeleech with the highest number of seeders without a leecher:
Unfortunately, still stalled:

@chubinky30
This is the proper way, not all in the first slot. Also you don't need to restart the PC, if it's correct it'll work instantly, you might need to restart your torrent client, though. -
@ianfontinell-0 I tried doing this but it won't let me save it:
after restarting Nord, it goes back to this:
-
@chubinky30 sorry for that, you were doing it correctly. i only assumed it was like that because it has exactly 4 slots,
The problem is, since it was right the first time you set it, it should have worked. On this site you can check which DNS provider is resolving your requests: https://whoismydns.com
If you set your VPN to use 94.140.14.14 it should return this:
If you set it correctly and it shows a different DNS in that page, then I don't know how to help any more.

@chubinky30 Also on a side note, you mentioned the issue started 2 days ago, so you were using NordVPN before that?
-
@ianfontinell-0 Im experiencing basically the same problems: Since two days my utorrent is not connecting anymore. Been running it since ages with NordVPN, never had any real problems.
Happens aswell for at least one other tracker.I changed the DNS in NordVPN to 8888, afterwards the whoismydns shows the following:
-
@ianfontinell-0 It seems old torrents using the gaytor.rent adress are still connecting, new ones using gaytor.rent arent

@ianfontinell-0 Hi. Sorry for the very late reply, it's been crazy for the past few weeks.
I've been using Nord for a while and never had any problems with it until 2 days after I posted this issue.
Thank you for your help! It's working now, but the only method that worked is that I have to reinstall my Nord and Qbit.
