Deluge Port Forwarding

Deluge is an open-source BitTorrent client written in Python. It provides various features, including p2p file sharing and more. When using Deluge, you need a stable internet connection which you can achieve with port forwarding. 

When configuring port forwarding, you instruct your router to route all incoming traffic from a particular port to a specific device within your network.

For Deluge port forwarding, you need to configure your router with an IP address, Port Number and have open ports for torrenting. 

Sounds confusing? Worry Not! In this article, you can learn how to configure deluge port forwarding in detail.

What things to gather before you get started

• The default IP address of your router (command:  ipconfig)
• A static IP address for the device you want to forward ports 
• The TCP/UDP port numbers and protocols
• The username and password to access your router
