dockerMullvadVPN VS alpine-qbittorrent-openvpn

I used this guide to make a docker compose with qbittorrent bound through openvpn. I've had no issues with speed.

This is something that was worrying me a bit. I thought about running a sidecar but not sure. I found this and this and was hoping one of them would work, but I'll see this once I get to it.

Hi there, I'm setting up a docker config to use mullvad via openvpn following this tutorial

Or a more manual approach with more options: https://github.com/nickkjolsing/dockerMullvadVPN/blob/master/README.md

I set up a Mullvad docker container and a transmission docker container, routed through the Mullvad. I tested a 5 GB download, expecting router would see the traffic as TLS. It saw it as DNS. It sees nothing it considers torrent traffic.

After several hours of tinkering I managed to finally have a docker container running in container station that has access to the internet and is finally using my mullvad-openvpn configuration files. I've used this tutorial, which is not QNAP specific https://github.com/nickkjolsing/dockerMullvadVPN/blob/master/README.md I followed the steps and created a compose file, using the +Application function in Container Station GUI The Container starts up and connects to the vpn server flawlessly. I know that, because in the console I can see the OpenVPN message: "Initialization Sequence Completed" However, before I can /bin/sh into the container to confirm if the container is really connecting to the internet through VPN tunnel, the container keeps resetting itself. It just stops for a few seconds, and then starts up again, establishing connection to the vpn service provider (mullvad). I already tried different options in the compose file in line restart: unless-stopped (I tried: always and never) But it does not changes the behaviour. I know I do not have much memory (TS251+, 2GB RAM) But one openvpn container should be managable

Here's the instructions that I followed: https://github.com/nickkjolsing/dockerMullvadVPN

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.
