coldfavor Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 Hi, I can't torrent anything because it is stuck with connecting to peers. I did some research and I bet it's the router firewall because I recently replaced it. I'm not an expert at port forwarding and all that stuff, so i looked around in the router settings and there was a dmz plus mode which allowed all applications, but was not secure. I am scared that if i put Dmz plus mode on something bad will happen. Is it a good idea if i just leave it on for the torrent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 Simply put: no. Your system is NOT going to be secure in the DMZ. Additionally, depending on the model and firmware version of your router, you may introduce download corruption. Do REGULAR port forwarding.

HedgehogInTheCPP Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 DMZ is a very bad idea. Better enable UPnP on the router and the client. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
