Is it possible to run qbittorrent and protonvpn in a VM?
(lemmy.dbzer0.com)
Does anyone know how to run qbittorrent and protonvpn in a VM? When I try to run the qbittorrent setup app I get this message (image below) and I don't see anything mentioning a VM in the qbittorrent [dot] org forum.
I am new to torrenting, so I don't really know what to do. I figured/assumed that torrenting/seeding in a VM might be safer as it is another layer deep, and that it may help keep traffic separate (inside the VM: I'd be using a vpn and torrenting, and outside the VM: I'd not be using a vpn and just regular internet surfing). Is this possible?
Thank you.
Did you manage to set up port forwarding with this setup? I believe there was an issue with the forwarded port from the VPN connection being random and qbit not knowing which port that is
With AirVPN you get a fixed port to use for port forwarding just FYI.
Yup many people had the same issue which is why someone created a docker container mod for LinuxServer's qbit docker image:

I've been using it for over a year now and it works well.
The GSP mod isn’t even needed anymore. There’s an env variable (“VPN_PORT_FOWARDING_UP_COMMAND”) you can set for gluetun that will set the port in qbit provided by Proton. Dr Frankenstein’s guide shows how to configure it in the Proton-specific config section.
Oh, that's cool.
Eventually™ I will have to change this.
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, yeah?
nope, i've not had any issues with ports, but im using deluge.
the container network management handles most of that nonsense, the vpn is treated as a native internet connection
