So I do not torrent much but when I do I use a private tracker from a site that I have to maintain a seeding ratio. Since last year I can't figure out why I am unable to seed anymore? I have tried qBitorrent, Deluge, Vuze, non of them work. I Have 4 locations with different routers & ISP's and the same issue. Downloading is fine (using a VPN), just upload is broken. Below are all the things I have tried;

- VPN and no VPN
- Port forwarding on the routers (on routers*)
- forced encryption & preferred (Torrent Client)
- static port vs random (Suggested to use a port greater than 40000)
- Firewall rule to allow the app (Windows 10)
- Private vs public setting (Windows 10)
- ISP's : Rain, MTN LTE, Afrihost LTE & a wireless ISP
- UPNP on & off (Router)

*So at home this weekend on my main router (Asus RT-AC87U) I setup a firewall rule on my gaming PC (Up to date Windows 10) I then used qBitorrent as for torrenting, and I setup port forwarding on the router under the WAN settings for VPN & Port forwarding. I downloaded the portforward checker tool and it can't see the open port. I check the port for my HikVision DVR and that works fine. So What am I missing ... what has Windows 10 changed that I am not seeing?
 
Do other trackers work?

Also what do you mean you made a Firewall rule for Windows 10? You shouldn’t need to make anything.

Nothing ... zero seeding on other trackers

The firewall rule by default pops up when installing or running the app for the first time
