alpine-qbittorrent-openvpn VS arch-qbittorrentvpn

Wow, was about to suggest what I've been using for years only to notice it's been deprecated since November of last year hah: https://github.com/guillaumedsde/alpine-qbittorrent-openvpn

This was the docker container I used; there's a guide on there but it assumes you're familiar with docker.

There are Docker images for this exact purpose: https://github.com/guillaumedsde/alpine-qbittorrent-openvpn/

I'm running qBittorrent + OpenVPN Docker image. Is there a way to make Windscribe OpenVPN config work with ephemeral port forwarding we create from website?

I use guillaumedsde/alpine-qbittorrent-openvpn

qBittorrent : torrent downloader. The Docker image includes an OpenVPN client which is connected to my ProtonVPN account.

qBittorrent: torrent downloader. I used this container to enable the VPN

My current setup is similar to yours, but everything runs in its own container on Docker. For the torrent client, I use this image which makes sure torrents are only downloading when there’s a good connection with the VPN. If you got any questions, I’d be glad to help you.

Maybe you could try this one instead: https://github.com/binhex/arch-qbittorrentvpn

I got it to work with OVPN for the time being. I have no idea what I could have done differently with Wireguard though. There is an open issue on github involving Mullvad with Wireguard, maybe its related?

If you're planning on using a new VPN you'll need to update your docker container w/ the new VPN info (account, pass, wireguard/openvpn, etc) and that should do it. I've heard decent things about proton vpn and airvpn but I'm sure there are plenty of acceptable options out there, just not many with decent port-forwarding capabilities if you care about that. airVPN is a good vpn for port-forwarding, binhex's github has a walkthrough for setting up airVPN as an example, shouldn't be much different from how you setup mullvad

I recommend https://github.com/binhex/arch-qbittorrentvpn. Simply because dyonr seemingly abandoned the project in 2022.

Third, better, option: run something like this https://github.com/binhex/arch-qbittorrentvpn

So I'm running Radarr 4.4.4.7068 (docker) and a modified version of qBittorrent which includes a VPN (https://github.com/binhex/arch-qbittorrentvpn). When I add a file via Radarr, qBittorrent complies with the "Maximum Seed Time" selected in Radarr and marks the torrent as "completed". However Radarr doesn't remove it from qBittorent, even if the option "Remove completed" is enabled.
