I have transmission running on several machines. One machine is an embedded device using buildroot, one is windows, one is a linux VM on proxmox, one is a cloud vps. They all work except the buildroot device. I am running my own tracker on the cloud vps. Buildroot CAN torrent ubuntu from the official source. Only my custom torrent is not working, and I’m not sure what else I can do to debug.
The daemon looks ok

DNS and internet connection all look right. I’m not sure what the problem could be.
