PIA support told me to turn off forwarding and connect to a different endpoint, then disconnect again, turn on forwarding, then reconnect to the desired endpoint. I find myself always using one Canadian endpoint that has a higher success rate, but even then I often have to reconnect three or four times before PIA forwards a port for me.
Only some of the endpoints support it, and no matter how I try, even many of the listed ones absolutely refuse to forward for me. Even if you can get away with a single forwarded port, port forwarding with PIA is very spotty. Luckily eMule allows you to put the TCP and UDP listeners on the same port, but if you try to tell your torrent client to use the same port then eMule will be unable to get a high ID or use KAD.Ģ.
While PIA advertises port forwarding, you are only allowed on forwarded port, which is a problem if you like to run, say, eMule and a bittorrent client at the same time. I've been using PIA for a couple of weeks and I am mostly pleased with it, but a few things should be noted.ġ.
