I have qB setup on an LXC in proxmox. I have wireguard, and OpenVPN setup on the container. I use Windscribe as my VPN provider, no static IP so I'm using their "ephemeral" port forwarding service.

Initially set it up using wireguard but qB always said the connection was firewalled. Other reddit posts / forum posts said windscribe's implementation of wireguard wasn't great and didn't work well w/port forwarding, and to use OpenVPN instead.

Switched to OpenVPN and now qB says "connected" but I still can't connect to any peer to upload. Checking with port checking sites say the port is still closed on the vpn ip. Downloading works fine. I'm also able to upload Ubuntu ISO seemingly fine, but torrents from private trackers can't seed, even for torrents with more peers than seeds.

Anyone have any experience with this?
