mullvad and proton stand as vpn. However, mullvad does not allow torrenting because there is no port forwarding. Mullvad should not be on the list

Were you using a VPN at the time? I was under the impression that the issue is at standard anything involving ports just doesn't work with a VPN because it would be trying to get to the port on the VPN, which the VPN would rightly refuse unless you'd set it up to forward that port

Yes, I was using a VPN. It's still working right now.

black0ut may be on to something, but I don't know much about trackers. I think creating torrents with qbittorrent automatically includes 'opentracker' but I don't really know what that means.
