Is it possible to check if the port is actually open and connectable?

Im weirdly getting slow connection speeds and qbittorrentvpn fails to connect to many peers available, but the connection icon is green. I dont know my external (vpns) IP and im not sure how to check it.

There's many websites out there that should enable checking for an open port. I'd recommend YouGetSignal's.

To determine the container's external IP address, you can use IP Leak's Torrent Address Detection. This should expose a magnet link which you can add to qBittorrent's queue.
