Test Active Port gives exclamation point

Post by finnero »

Currently, under Network>Incoming Ports, when I click "Test Active Port", it gives me an exclamation point. I have UPnP and random port checked, and torrents seem to download. However, I'm concerned that I may not be able to seed properly if I get an exclamation. In my FIOS Actiontec router, under firewall settings>port forwarding, it lists a long list of entries for Deluge, like this:

Deluge 1.3.12 at 192.168.1.4:57931
TCP Any -> 57931
Deluge 1.3.12 at 192.168.1.4:57931
UDP Any -> 57931

So it seems the router should be letting it through already, am I right? I'm not great with port forwarding so maybe I'm not reading this correctly. What do I need to do to correct this issue with the exclamation point?

EDIT: Hmm, I just discovered something. I usually have peerblock running - I closed Peerblock and ran the "Test Active Port" again, and this time I got the green! So I enabled Peerblock and again the test gives me the exclamation point. Does this mean Peerblock is interfering with my connectability? I know it's supposed to block certain IP addresses, but it shouldn't be affecting my connectability, should it?

The test active port simply calls back to the deluge website so if Peerblock is blocking that then it would affect the outcome of the test. The import part is whether you see 'No Incoming Connections' in statusbar.

Thanks. When I test the port I get several listings in a row for "Oregon State System of Higher Education" in my Peerblock block list. I've tested 3 times in a row just to check and every time it checks that gets listed in Peerblock - I guess this is what the deluge website is reading as to Peerblock?

Looks correct, Deluge website is hosted by them. :)
