Please help with setting up Privado VPN for torrenting

VPN
1

Hi, this is my first time setup of unRAID after I’ve finally finished building the PC over a few months. I’ve previously run an automated Plex server off of my laptop using Win10 but the unRAID side of things is confusing me a little.

My VPN of choice is Privado so I’d like to get that working. Previously I have used Deluge as my torrent client and as the rest of my apps are by linuxserver I also downloaded their Deluge app. However I couldn’t understand how to route traffic through the VPN there. I see that binhex also has a Deluge and qBittorrent apps with VPN integration but again I couldn’t quite work out what to do.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Look for a video from spaceinvader one about routing dockers through other dockers. He talks about this exact scenario.

My 2 cents are ditch Deluge. Mine frequently became unresponsive when I had lots of torrents up. That and the fact that with the 2.0 update Windows and Mac users who used it remotely to control a server remotely were left out from projects builds.

I switched to qBittorrent-vpn docker by Binhex. The scripts in here do all the work to keep the download client in the VPN.

For Privado, you will just need to set to custom and grab the OpenVPN config from here: https://support.privado.io/kb/article/362-android-openvpn-setup/

FAQs for the setup are here: https://github.com/binhex/documentation/blob/master/docker/guides/vpn.md

Good luck!

Thanks, I’ve followed the guide and got my dockers running through the VPN. However I can’t get the WebUI working again. I feel like I must be missing something that’s not mentioned in that video.

I’m fairly new to this too (started my u raid server two weeks ago) so probably can’t help you much. But what are you using to access it? Could the local IP have changed?

I worked out the issue eventually. I hadn’t updated the LAN_NETWORK key in the delugevpn container settings.
