Hello everybody. How can I enable UPnP on Solus (if possible) ? I'm using Transmission, with which downloading is fine, but uploading is impossible, because of the 51413 port closed. A friend of mine has installed Mint, then Transmission, and everything works fine (his 51413 port is open.) Both him and I use the same model of box, and we have checked all parameters, which are identical on both of our boxes. That's why I think it's Solus which doesn't allow this to work. Does anybody knows how to do the trick ?
Thanks a lot, have a nice day !

  • OK, shame on me. It was a VPN issue (the VPN was eventually blocking Transmission, even when closed.) Sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks for the help !

    Hi @Brent, thanks for the reply. I'm convinced it's a Solus problem (but I may be wrong), since my friend who is using Mint has the 51413 port open, out of the box. No need to do anything. We have the same ISP, same box settings, apart the fact that his box shows the port 51413 (and showing Transmission as the client using it) open without doing anything.
    I didn't install any firewall, I'm using Solus Budgie as it come after a fresh install and regular updates.

    hopefully a dev or pro responds to what I think is your question:

    what is the best practices of opening a port in Solus, re: an iptables rule?

    assuming a closed port is your problem, of course. sounds that way since you eliminated all the other variables.

    this is solved, re: 51413, albeit 10 yr old info: https://askubuntu.com/questions/460673/firewall-rules-for-transmission

    here is what Transmission itself recommends: https://trac.transmissionbt.com/wiki/PortForwardingGuide

    check out the picture at top in the transmission settings--wonder what yours looks like? - https://forum.openmediavault.org/index.php?thread/51594-transmission-no-longer-works-port-51413-closed/

    good luck. the reading, as usual, is scary. either hard as he** to do or easy-peasy. I think it's easy if you understand some port things (I sure don't)
    good luck
