I disabled UPnP for security reasons and want to port forward qBittorrent.

Lets say the port I chose is 8999, do I need to port forward 8999 TCP and 8999 UDP? Or can I just port forward 8999 TCP? Or can I just port forward 8999 UDP?

And WTF is uTP? There no option to port forward uTP ports in my router or VPN.

I could port forward both. However I would prefer to only port forward one protocol on the port number for additional security. I cannot find any definite answer online saying you need to port forward the same port TCP and UDP or a definite answer that you need to port forward only one port as TCP or UDP.
