How do I get Qbittorrent to use gluetun for nordvpn?

VPN
1

I am new to NAS/CasaOS and I am trying to set up a few things on my home NAS.

I followed a video by DB Tech on getting gluetun set up with Qbittorrent on CasaOS except that part where he uses a 2 year outdated Qbittorrent (which, at least to me, makes sense) I opted for the QbitTorrent from big bear casa OS. Needless to say I can not get QbitTorrent to work via gluetun(my nordvpn).

Is there a way to figure this out?

Here is how i did it in my configuration, maybe it helps you:
Now i use proton vpn but i used nordvpn before and It worked nearly the same way I think. Although it is annoying to get your credentials for using wireguard.

  gluetun:
    image: qmcgaw/gluetun:latest
    container_name: gluetun
    cap_add:
      - NET_ADMIN
    devices:
      - /dev/net/tun:/dev/net/tun
    environment:
      - VPN_SERVICE_PROVIDER=custom
      - VPN_TYPE=wireguard
      - WIREGUARD_ENDPOINT_IP=
      - WIREGUARD_ENDPOINT_PORT=51820
      - VPN_PORT_FORWARDING_PROVIDER=protonvpn
      - WIREGUARD_PUBLIC_KEY=
      - WIREGUARD_PRIVATE_KEY=
      - WIREGUARD_ADDRESSES=
      - DOT=off
      - CONTROL_SERVER_PORT=8000
      - DNS=192.168.178.XX
      - FIREWALL_OUTBOUND_SUBNETS=172.18.0.0/16,192.168.178.0/24
    volumes:
      - /homelab/config/gluetun:/gluetun
    networks:
      - traefik_network
    restart: unless-stopped

  qbittorrent:
    image: lscr.io/linuxserver/qbittorrent:latest
    container_name: qbittorrent
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=somewhere/world
      - WEBUI_PORT=8085
    volumes:
      - /homelab/config/qbittorrent:/config
      - /homelab/downloads:/downloads
    network_mode: "container:gluetun"
    depends_on:
      - gluetun
    labels:
      - "traefik.enable=true"
      - "traefik.http.routers.qbittorrent.rule=Host(`.my.homelab.url`)"
      - "traefik.http.routers.qbittorrent.entrypoints=websecure"
      - "traefik.http.routers.qbittorrent.tls=true"
      - "traefik.http.routers.qbittorrent.tls.certresolver=cloudflare"
      - "traefik.http.services.qbittorrent.loadbalancer.server.port=8085"
    restart:unless-stopped ```

I found the tutorial below very helpful doing exactly this.

Use portainer to set the network type for your container to “container” and then select gluetun from the list.

5

You can still use the same tutorial that I released in that video. Just change the qBittorrent setup. Just keep the networking-related stuff in there.

I couldn’t get it to work with nord, I switched to mullvlad and have had 0 problems.

7

Currently having this problem as well. I’m trying to work it with qBittorrent from the app store and not qbittorrentvpn, but it isn’t working

8

Did you figure it out? if so could you post the docker compose?

9

Do I have to use wireguard? :thinking:

10

This is the video I followed step by step, and it didn’t work. From the whoogle part on, nothing works. :frowning:

11

I’m not able to see glutetun as a selectable network inside of the portainer menu for QBT. I can confirm that gluten is running my nord credentials and has a new IP.

12

I tried this, and I couldn’t get it to work. My gluetun shows its own IP address, but QBT still uses my own. I’m not able to find a network on my system to use as the vpn.

13

I’d rather figure out nord if I can due to long-term subscriptions and it being such an integral part of my own ecosystem already.

Hi! I am sorry to say that I’ve given up on this and just opted for usenet. I hope you are able to find a fix for this!

I did. The code on DBTech’s website worked really well for me. The issue I had was using Proton’s free VPN. I guess I must have used the full quota that it didn’t work well for me. Once I started paying for it the connection has been superb
