Hello! I’m trying to set up qbittorrent and gluetun using docker compose on my home server, using the free account of ProtonVPN.
on some posts I see that ports 8080, 6881 and 6881/UDP are open in gluetun. in the guide I followed instead only port 8080 is exposed. So I exposed port 8080 and it is not working. I launched the torrent of endeavourOS iso image (that my laptop (with the same vpn) downloads in a few minutes with plenty of peers and seeds at about 4Mb/s), and it downloaded at an EXTREME low speed (a few B/s) for a few seconds, and then got stuck at stalled. When it is stalled, the qbittorrent container has no internet access (ping linux fails).
So my questions are:
- Which ports do I need to open on gluetun? if I open 6881 wouldn’t my IP be exposed bypassing gluetun?
- What’s wrong with my setup? Why is internet connection so slow when there is, and why does it go away so often?
- Is this configuration secure? in case of gluetun fail, would my IP be leaked?
here’s the two docker-compose.yml files:
version: "3"
services:
gluetun:
image: qmcgaw/gluetun
container_name: gluetun
cap_add:
- NET_ADMIN
environment:
- VPN_SERVICE_PROVIDER=protonvpn
- OPENVPN_USER=MYUSERHERE
- OPENVPN_PASSWORD=MYPASSWORDHERE
- SERVER_COUNTRIES=Netherlands
- FREE_ONLY=on
volumes:
- ~/docker/gluetun/gluetun:/gluetun
ports:
- 8080:8080 # qBittorrent
restart: unless-stopped
and
version: "3"
services:
qbittorrent:
image: linuxserver/qbittorrent:latest
container_name: qbittorrent
environment:
- PUID=1000
- PGID=1000
- TZ=Europe/Rome
- WEBUI_PORT=8080
volumes:
- ~/docker/qbittorrent/config:/config
- ~/docker/qbittorrent/downloads:/downloads
network_mode: "container:gluetun"
#ports:
# - 8080:8080
# - 6881:6881
# - 6881:6881/udp
restart: unless-stopped
and here’s some logs:
