@qdm12 is more or less the only maintainer of this project and works on it in his free time. Please:

• do not ask for updates, be patient
• :+1: the issue to show your support instead of commenting @qdm12 usually checks issues at least once a week, if this is a new urgent bug, revert to an older tagged container image

Just remove these environment variables:

VPN_PORT_FORWARDING=ON
VPN_PORT_FORWARDING_PROVIDER=airvpn

Only FIREWALL_VPN_INPUT_PORTS is required.

This also does not work for me. I can download, but no seeding. airvpn is not in the "supported list" the container logs out when this is included, which seems to suggest it's not supported despite the wiki:

VPN_PORT_FORWARDING=ON
VPN_PORT_FORWARDING_PROVIDER=airvpn

AirVPN support would be really nice.

AirVPN support would be really nice.

Thing is, it was supported. I just came here because I noticed Transmission said the port was closed. Checking the port from https://airvpn.org/ports/ indicates that it's open, though. Not sure what's going on.

Edit: https://portchecker.co/check-v0 also indicates it's working. Maybe Transmission is my issue?

Double edit: seems to be Transmission that has the issue: https://github.com/transmission/transmission/issues/7698
