os: xubuntu 24.04

firewall: ufw

torrent program: transmission

On transmission I opened port 51401

On a terminal I executed sudo ufw allow 51401, which opens both tcp and udp ports for both ipv4 and ipv6. This is called forwarding, right?

I'm following https://github.com/transmission/transmission/blob/main/docs/Port-Forwarding-Guide.md but apparently I still don't get it

ETA: thanks for your input, issue has been solved

No, you need to forward from your router as well.

Internet -> router -> machine -> firewall

You've only allowed the firewall on this machine to allow that port through. Forward that port from your router to your machine's IP and port as well.

turns out this was the right answer all along

Well, at least you got it working.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
