is port forwarding working for other users?

It has not been working for me for a few months. I reinstalled Windows and then reinstalled PIA client, but the port forwarding still fails, even though I am using the port number shown by the PIA client as I did previously.

    I just checked the Toronto server and port forwarding works fine for me.

    When you say port forwarding fails, how exactly are you testing it?

    In my p2p program, I use the port assigned by the PIA server as the TCP and UDP port, as I did before. But recently this no longer works, as the ports are not reachable. If I am not using PIA, port forwarding does work using my own router.

    Any idea how to solve this?

    What bittorrent app and version are you running?

    How are you verifying that there's a port forwarding problem? If you're only checking it in your bittorrent app that's not a valid testing method. Try:

    or
    https://www.grc.com/ and run the Shields Up test

    It's not bittorrent, it's the latest eMule. The app has a link to a connection test webpage that tests the ports. In addition, it's clear whether port forwarding is working since users only get assigned a high id from a server when ports are open.

    Everything works when I don't use PIA, but port forwarding doesn't work when I connect by PIA. This is evident from eMule's tests as well as other sites such as CanYouSeeMe.

    I'm using PIA v0.56 with port forwarding enabled. I tried their different port forwarding servers with the same results. There's also no difference whether I select connection type UDP or TCP.

    Any idea why this may be the case?
