Hi! Can anybody help me?
I noticed today that any torrent I try from the tracker doesn't seem to work. I tried to find answer on the forum but didn't manage.
What I tried so far:

1. Rebooting my laptop
2. Deleting all torrents in the list I had
3. Deleting and reinstalling my torrent client
4. Checking whether my port is open (It is)
5. Checking if a torrent file has a passkey (it has)
6. Aditing the host file in system32 (driver directory) adding IPs of the tracker (didn't help)
7. Deactivating my antivirus
8. First making utorrent like an exception in Windows Firewall after that even deactivating it (didn't help)
9. check if torrents work from other sites (they do)
10. Trying another client (bittorrent) and it didn't help
11. after almost every step i revooted my laptop and tried to download a torrent file from forum again and the same status like in the screen
12. I tried above procedures with and without VPN (didn't help)
13. DHT, PeX and LSD are ticked in the settings of the torent client

I have no ideas what else to try
Desperate for help

It is very curious that so many users started to experience DNS issues at the same time. Everything works fine for me with VPN or without VPN.

I set AdGuard as my DNS provider. You can configure your Network to use AdGuard DNS following this tutorial: https://adguard-dns.io/en/public-dns.html

Go to "Option 2: Configure AdGuard DNS manually", select your operating system and follow the instructions.

If you are using a VPN, you must check their website to know how to set a custom DNS.
