Port Forward can't be assigned correctly

[phoenix1of1]

Hi I am using Private Internet Access with port forwarding active and trying to reflect this in the network settings for Deluge but I am unfortunately encountering an issue whereby if I try to set a particular port, say 47753, and then hit "Apply", Deluge will set the port being forwarded to 47755.
I encountered this problem previously on my previous PC build but it corrected once NAT-PMP was disabled in the client, however, it doesn't seem to be the root cause of the problem as it continues to persist on my new rig.

Any help to navigate this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Just to add to the confusion, last time I encountered this issue, disabling Nat-pmp and upnp "solved" the issue but this time, I tried deselecting those options but still encountered the problem.

I've tried disabling upnp on the Deluge client and left nat-pmp selected...at first, no luck...was trying to source more information but after 20 or so minutes, just retried the same config and now port forwarding seems to be working just fine.

As I said initially, I use PIA which allows for Port Forwarding on the particular server I've chosen which means I don't have to set port-forwarding in my Asus router.

Completely curious that I have not done anything other than what was stated above and yet the problem seems to have resolved itself.
I'm all for examining and potentially blaming user error but in this case, I literally did nothing to resolve the initial problem.
I'll keep any eye out for if it happens again but in the meantime, consider the problem resolved...for now :p

Hello Phoenix,

Can you post the output of ss -tulpn | column -t | grep deluge?

This will show you what ports Deluged is listening on and even what ipaddress it is listening.
