how to open closed port?

Since updating to OS Sierra, Transmission (my torrent application) reports that my ports are closed (and "Pork check site is down"), so I am unable to seed. ("Randomize" doesn't achieve anything.")


How do I get an open port?


(Everything worked fine until Sierra.)

iMac (27-inch, Late 2012), OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)

you need to discuss with the developer or determine if a 3rd party is blocking your ability, that could be software, it could be your ISP not wanting you to use software primarily for pirating software, audio and video because it's illegal to do so, but OS X does not block ports and the firewall is by application only, and Transmission has already had it's distort hacked and was modified to be malware a few months ago.
