Deluge Forum

I'm having issues with connections in Deluge. I can only get about 10-20, so my U/L is VERY VERY slow if non-existent. D/Ls are OK, but fail a lot. Only happens when I'm connected to my VPN.

Running Deluge as a service on Windows 10 ENT
Windows Box is behind a Netgear R7000 running DDWRT

Deluge settings:

Incoming ports: 6100-6200
Outgoing ports: 6200-6300
These ports have been configured (UDP &TCP) in the Windows Firewall as well as in DDWRT. I can disable windows firewall and it doesn't help.
I've also opened ports TCP and UDP on the port config page of Torguard: UDP&TCP: 6100, and 6200

Network extras enabled:
Peer exchange
DHT

Encryption:
inbound: enabled
oubound: enabled
Level: either
Encrytp entire stream: enabled

what am I doing wrong?

If you are using a VPN or Socks5 proxy, you don't need to have any ports open or forwarded.

I use Torguard Socks5 W/Authentication proxy, and on Deluge I have the red icon that says No incoming Connections! This is normal and to be expected.

You might want to try the Socks5 proxy instead of the VPN. Just be sure it is actually working before you run any type of questionable torrent. I always have the Torguard CheckMyTorrentIP torrent running so I can see the proxy IP address the trackers see.

Yeah, I'm just using the VPN, no Socks5 proxy. So, should I use random ports then?

I'll look into the socks5 VPN. Most of my torrents download fine, it just seems to be uploading which is killing my ratio.
