Configuring qBittorrent properly (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I have been seeding torrents through utorrent (on windows) with no issues. But through this community's megathreads, I came across using qBittorrent, which seems more flexible and configurable.

But I'm having an issue seeding torrents over my favourite private trackers though. I'm on Linux, and no matter what I do, it flags an orange sign and hovering over it says "there is a configuration issue". The DHT number is non zero, and I'm currently trying to seed on two trackers.

Can someone share a guide on qbittorrent on how to properly configure it. Or a place (IRC, Matrix) where they could assist me? I've search online but haven't been lucky so far.

As a last resort, if there is a good alternative too, I'm ready to switch.

EDIT: thanks to everyone for comments and helping me out resolving this issue.

where can I find the transmission settings?

It's a home PC with no VPN

Is that qBittorrent? If you meant transmission as in the torrenting software, I've never used it. Before switching to qBit I was using aria2 😅.

Btw, thanks to all of you, the problem appears to be resolved. Its a matter of tracker requesting seeds now.

That's transmission. My mistake, I somehow got the wrong impression that you had a working transmission set up before.

Glad to hear that everything is resolved :)
