connects to itself with BT-DHT get_peers

[Pentium4User]

Hello!

I notice that qbittorrent connects to itself via the IP announced to the tracker.
I see requests like get_peers.

Which purpose does that have if src and dst addresses are the same?

There can be multiple users with different ports on the same IP address.

This is definitely not the case here.
The traffic comes from my machine and goes to the lo Loopback interface with the GUA IPv6 address.
I think it would be reasonable to block connecting to the own client. Except for IPv4 NAT, this situation is clear.
If src and dst match and also src and dst port, it is the same client.
