Welcome to the forum @Auron!

If you cannot forward ports, you’ll have more issues than just a misconfigured QUIC…

A way around that is to use a VPN that supports port forwarding.

There are posts on that matter here; for instance:

> [@Best VPN options with port forwarding](https://forum.storj.io/t/best-vpn-options-with-port-forwarding/17260):
>
> What are your favorite VPN providers, featuring port forwarding? Are there free alternatives which include a no-log policy?
