Port Forwarding does not work
I have been trying to get port forwarding to work for months now and have almost given up. I am on Linux Mint, use ATT Uverse with a Pace 5031NV gateway. I have setup the PIA aplication to use port forwarding and no matter what I do I can not get it to work. Not only does my torrent client not get forwarded through the port, but I have used multiple online checkers and they all say the same thing. I have tried different servers and every trick I can think of.
Edit: After a lot of troubleshooting, I found out it was a problem with my iptables. if everything is set up correctly and you are having this problem like did, just flush out the rules from iptables (making a copy first for your future firewall settings)
the script in this link helped make it automated
