VPN and qBittorrent not playing nicely

@NeroC_Bass@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Not having to update the router port sure makes things easier, especially since Proton changes the port at times.

I believe I have found the issue, it appears split tunneling is broken right now. As soon as I disabled it, suddenly got seeds and was able to seed again. Shame split tunneling is not working again, as I need it off for local hosting certain games.

Docker is a cleaner solution for split tunneling. Container for the VPN (gluetun), and container for qbit bound to the VPN container for network access. You still need to manage the listening port when Proton changes it, but that’s easy enough.

If you set it up right, it also doubles as a bulletproof killswitch since qbit can’t see any other network.

This may be what I need to look into. Either this or virtualization. Thank you for the tip!

In case you need a pointer, I had to do this recently too. I’m no docker expert, but this works for me 👌

Are you on Arch? Because I am facing the exact same split tunneling issues using PIA VPN

@MomoTimeToDie@sh.itjust.works

Of course not, he would have announced it already if he was

NightoftheLemmy

🤣but seriously. PIA VPN announced that their split tunneling broke with some changes in the newest kernels/distro packages and said they will look into it

plague-sapiens

Just containerize/virtualize the shit and no split tunnel needed. Custom routes and fw rules can help too…
