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.
