They’re behind NAT / firewall / blocked ports
A peer can be “real” but unreachable:
their ISP blocks incoming connections
they’re behind a strict NAT
their client isn’t accepting connections
their port is closed
Result: your client knows they exist, but can’t actually exchange data with them.
They’re seedboxes or peers that refuse you
Some peers run configurations that:
only connect to certain regions
only connect to private peers
limit upload slots heavily
block certain clients
So you see them, but they never upload to you.
