Try this in tmux.conf:

set-option -ga terminal-overrides ",foot:Tc"

These overrides apply to the TERM you are using outside of tmux (where this is running).

Because J looks like a down arrow, obviously! /s

Wanted to help you potentially avoid a wild goose chase—port checking tools won’t detect a wireguard port as open…it’s specifically designed to not advertise its presence for security purposes. Bad handshake requests are ignored, making it look like a firewall DROP rule.

I’ll admit, this spooked me, but for different reasons than the OP and most comments.

I didn’t recognize any of the downloads, even though I have a publicly routable static IP and don’t use a VPN (I have a domain and self host so I know my IP hast changed in years).

I use exclusively private trackers, and nothing I’ve actually downloaded showed up, and the things that did were sporadic—one every couple days or so, first/last seen times identical, random torrents. I started asking myself if I had a rogue device in my network, so I checked logs and stats—nothing unusual (I think…I hope…hard to tell sometimes).

I looked more into how this site tracks peers, and it seems they have different levels of confidence. Their first API tier (peer API) is a “best guess” and this is based on listening to the DHT and PeX networks for their known torrents. I’m guessing their website uses this or a combination of this with their other APIs. I looked at my torrent config and saw I hadn’t disabled DHT/PeX and had a couple idle public torrents.

Not positive on this, but I think there can be false positives if your torrent box participates in DHT/PeX even if it doesn’t actually download said torrents. Can anyone confirm this?

Zero issues (other than an IPv6 annoyance—see below) for me running a homelab with Google Fiber.

I switched from ATT Fiber because I really hated using their box (I bypassed it with an EAP proxy but it was brittle and it still had to be plugged in). Google Fiber doesn’t require that so you can plug your own router directly into the ONT.

I’ve had the same IPv4 address since I signed up, but IPv6 prefixes do seem to change every so often (which is baffling to me—seems like it’d be easier to leave the IPv6 prefixes alone vs keeping a static IPv4).
