  • arch-privoxyvpn

    Docker build script for Arch Linux base with Privoxy and OpenVPN

  • First, a bit about my setup. Everything is in Docker. I have a qbittorrent container, which tunnels through binhex's privoxyvpn container, which is connected to ExpressVPN. Somehow though, when I visit https://iknowwhatyoudownload.com using my normal IP, they're able to identify a sample of the torrents I've downloaded over the last 2 weeks via this setup (I don't have a torrent client installed anywhere else and I know these specific items were indeed downloaded through my qbittorrent.)

  • dnsleaktest

    An open source script tests VPN connection for DNS Leak.

  • I've confirmed the following: * curl ifconfig.cc inside the qbittorrent container gives me the VPN IP, not my own. * Using https://ipleak.net shows my VPN IP, not my own, when downloading their torrent in qbittorrent. * When using https://github.com/macvk/dnsleaktest inside my qbittorrent container, I get a different set of DNS server than when using it outside of it. These are the servers specifically from inside: You use 6 DNS servers: 104.156.251.15 [United States of America AS20473 The Constant Company LLC] 107.191.42.180 [United States of America AS20473 The Constant Company LLC] 144.202.14.9 [United States of America AS20473 The Constant Company LLC] 2001:19f0:5:18e8:5400:1ff:febe:3032 [United States of America AS20473 The Constant Company LLC] 2001:19f0:300:60d2::33 [United States of America AS20473 The Constant Company LLC] 2001:19f0:300:6256:5400:ff:fe1a:c6e7 [United States of America AS20473 The Constant Company LLC]
