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.
Yup many people had the same issue which is why someone created a docker container mod for LinuxServer's qbit docker image:
https://github.com/t-anc/GSP-Qbittorent-Gluetun-sync-port-mod
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?
