If say for example, you, the client is publicly reachable easily, and the list of peers are all seeders who are behind NAT and cannot be reached, would a seeder peer initiate a connection to you even though he doesn't need any data from you? If so how does he get to know? Does a seeder (behind NAT) look at the peer list and just try to connect to other peers who needs data? 🤔 When I think of it, it does sound feasible.

In this case we would need a third party (to know who that third party is will require some more digging) to which everyone can connect and that guy will tell people to connect to a person if required. I guess trackers would be able to do this (not sure they if they actually do🤔).

Even when I tested while seeding. Few connections were initiated by my machine and few were initiated by someone else requesting data from me. So I guess some third party should be there. 🙂

Hi. I need help with my setup of Port-Forwarding and the Mobile 4G. If anyone wants to help, let me know. (Private Only).

And, Let's keep this thread for the Excitel's Port-Forwarding only.
 
my plex started working when i cahnged the port from 32400 to 179
Rather than saying ports are open I would rephrase it as "ports are not blocked". On excitel's public IP only two services are running which are ssh (22), BGP(179) [as told to me by nmap]. Therefore if you type publicIP : Port in any application you can only connect to these two ports. I am doing some more tests.



So just to make sure. I used a small Linux machine which I had and added that to DMZ. Still, I can't connect to it using the public IP which I have.
 
Ok, this is interesting. I'll also try and update back

EDIT: Nope not working for me. Can you access it from some other network? Although it will be weird cause port 179 on public IP is already in use so i dont think you can get another service to listen on it.

^ It doesn't seems to be working for me. I don't see any packet being sent or received.

Has anyone here been able to get port forwarding working with Excitel? I want to port forward my Jellyfin and Minecraft Bedrock server i.e the TCP 8096 port and UDP 19132 port
