Hours spent yesterday trying to troubleshoot why #Tribler didn't seem to be able to connect to any trackers or peers. Other torrent clients were working fine on the same device. After reading the Tribler release notes from 2025.12.16 and 2026.01.21 it appears that #InternetServiceProviders have been blocking #Tor exit nodes which restricts safer browsing / traffic on the clear net of the internet. Was going to submit an issue but found that someone else already had https://github.com/Tribler/tribler/issues/8906.
