I just want to toggle the alternative speeds while Plex is streaming outside my house. I couldn’t find anything while looking around except for some old scripts that haven’t been updated in years.
You could probably do that, unless you are using a VPN.
The router will only know that there is torrent VPN traffic but It would not know if it were torrenting or someone watching Netflix.
If you only use VPNs for torrenting then it’s not a problem, so you could just limit all VPN traffic. If you use VPNs for other stuff, it could get annoying having all your traffic limited.
You could use the two bandwidth limits in torrenting programs and switch between a low limit and a high limit when you want. It’s not automatic though .
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

You’d deprioritise the VPN traffic in QoS, or use cake
Ook thanks! That the same of making whole torrent’s traffic deprioritized on qos right?
Yes, but it will also affect all other potential traffic on that computer.
You could use split tunneling to only use the VPN for torrents and your normal network for everything else.
If you are torrenting on a dedicated server or something then it shouldn’t matter much.
Thanks, I guessed that you can identify, maybe with openwrt, the torrent traffic, in order to bind the qos rule to torrent.
