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?

Who says the ISP isn't blocking ports via a firewall?

I thought it was common practice for ISPs to block certain ports for residential connections?

They will usually block port 25 so you can't run a mail server. It's unusual for an ISP to block everything unless you are on CGNAT.
