I've tried both qBitTorrent and uTorrent and neither wants to connect. I always get an error saying nothing is going out (the yellow triangle in uTorrent) and the uTorrent test fails both the speed test (it says no such host is known when I'm trying to use the Chicago, IL server) and that the port is not open. Here's the rundown of what I have:

Windows 11

ISP: AT&T Fiber; BGW320-505 router (ports 52000-65535 are supposed to be forwarded)

VPN: NordVPN (I've tried a P2P connection and turning it off altogether and nothing changes)

Anti-Virus: Malwarebytes (both the .exe and the folder uTorrent is in are on the allow list; I've also tried disabling it to no change)

I've tried looking up various guides and nothing has worked. If anyone could help me, I would greatly appreciate it. This is extremely frustrating.
