qBittorrent floods PTR requests

Open MPeti1 opened this issue 4 years ago • 15 comments

qBittorrent version and Operating System

qBittorrent: v4.2.5 OS: Windows 10 1903

What is the problem

qBittorrent makes a lot of PTR queries (probably about peers), about 20-24 in every minute.

What is the expected behavior

Since "resolve peer hostnames" is turned off in the advanced settings, I would expect it to not make any PTR queries

Steps to reproduce

I don't have any information on this, but what I can tell is that I have 184 seeding torrents, and 1 peer connections at the moment. Also, I could provide the configuration files if needed.

Extra info(if any)

It's not started happening yesterday, it's been going on for a long time, it was just hard to find what is doing this. I run a Pi-hole (a recursive DNS server, it's purpose is mostly filtering requests and also logging to see any unusual activity), and this is where I see the queries. If I quit qBittorrent there will be much less PTR queries coming from my PC, if at all, this is why I think that they are made by qBittorrent
