I run proxy through RPi3b+ that is installed in another country. I want to open a port on RPi that is being used by qbittorent on main machine which is 6881. Is there any way to do it?

I have used ufw enable 6881/tcp but it seems not to work. And I tried miniupnp but it fails to ind IGD which must be there cause router does have UPnP tailscale port open automatically. Am I doing something wrong?

I do have access to both routers. rpi3 runs tailscale and UPnP on router of rpi3s network has a entry for tailscale port. Also, if I run qbittorrent on rpi3, UPnP on router also auto opens port. But if I open ports manually on both router and ufw on rpi3, port checker shows port closed.

    Just run Tailscale if you're not that familiar with networking. Simplify for what you need.

    Lookup what Tailscale is. Install it on the remote machine, then access that machine like a VPN would bypassing the router and the public aspect of the networking you're having issues with.

    If instead you're saying that your ports are NOT actually opening because the service is problematic, then you have a diff problem. Debug and make sure the service you're expecting to be avai6is ACTUALLY available. Check that the process has the ports open, and check on that remote machine that it can actually connect to those ports.

    If so, then just use Tailscale.

    it fails to find IGD which must be there cause router does have UPnP tailscale port open automatically

    rpi3 runs tailscale and UPnP on router of rpi3s network has a entry for tailscale port

    How do you think I am accessing rpi3 in another country? Teleporting?
