Next, click on System and security and, in the next window, in the Windows Defender Firewall section, click on Allow an app through Windows Firewall. The first thing we must do is access the Control Panel from the Windows search box. Unlike other torrent applications, which allow us to create an exception from the application once we have installed it, from qBittorrent this possibility does not exist, so we must follow the steps that we show you below to allow this application to have access to through the Windows firewall. If due to ignorance or fear, we have unchecked that box, there is no problem, since we can manually create an exception in the Windows registry to allow qBittorrent to connect to the internet without problems. In this way, if we do not modify that option, as soon as we download and install the application, it will have access to the Internet and we will be able to start downloading and sharing content. To prevent users from facing this issue, during app installation, the app informs us that it will add a windows firewall exception. If we deny access to the internet through the firewall, qBittorrent will never have access to the internet, so you will never be able to download any type of content from these networks. 5 Still not working properly You don’t have internet accessĮvery time we install an application in Windows, if it needs an internet connection, the operating system will show us a message with the application request, a message where we can confirm or deny internet access through the firewall, also known as firewall.
