I’m new to this and am trying to torrent with QBT and FastestVPN. I set up QBT to only use the VPN but it’s saying there’s no direct connections. I’ve seen people mentioning port forwarding but I don’t see that as an option with the VPN. Am I just not able to torrent with FastestVPN?
I’ve torrented with FastestVPN for a while, it works. Make sure you selected the correct interface when binding in the qBittorrent app, make sure the VPN is ON when you bind it, and when you test it. Also, if you are using the official FastestVPN client app, I highly recommend using OpenVPN client instead. Follow this official guide on how to use FastestVPN with OpenVPN on windows, then try again. (OpenVPN client works way better than the official one, especially for torrenting)
FastestVPN Founder & CEO wanted for criminal acts, including Identity Theft.
FastestVPN is owned by Fast Technology Ltd., which Pakistani businessman Azneem Bilwani founded.

I remember only a few servers support torrent.
It’s compatible as in it still works, but QBT shows you that without configured port-forwarding “no direct connections” you won’t get 100% connectivity and speed possible.
Thank you for the thorough response! I finally got it to work by disconnecting VPN and un-binding, then re-connecting VPN and re-binding.
