Qbittorrent - no search results

I recently reinstalled the Mac OS and all software. Disk was wiped and i

chose not to use Migration Assistant. Fine. But i newly reinstalled QBitTorrent

and now i only see the 'Jackett api key error!' warning. But no other

results, no matter what i search for.


All the default search plugins are there and enabled.


The Connection Status icon at the bottom is an orange flame, 'no direct

connection'. Uh-oh. Click on it, get to the Connections Settings, and

nothing strange there. Everything is default, no proxy, no addresses

blocked. Should it normally be Direct Connection? How can i make that happen?


I have Little Snitch but it is set to allow all connections, in and out, for QBT.


Searched through Mac OS security settings, can find nothing that would seem to stop QBT.


Absolutely any suggestions welcome.

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 15.5
