So, I’ve recently started torrenting more, but I wanted to be safe about it, or a safe as can be.

I already have a PIA subscription from like 3 years ago on a Christmas sale.

I would like to continue using Docker, as I have been.

I know there are docker images of qBittorrent with VPN included, but I have PIA set up with the “Gluetun” docker image, so that if I wanted to, I could run other containers through it rather easily.

So, I’m using PIA with Gluetun image, and the standard qBittorrent image that is being funneled through Gluetun. I’m using Portainer and Portainer Stacks to manage my docker environment. I’m also using a PIA server in CA Vancouver, as far as I can tell, that server allows port forwarding as well as seeding.

My problem is I can’t seem to seed anything. Can any of y’all help me get properly set up for seeding as well as torrenting?

If you need any more info or screenshots, let me know!

Also, I am actively looking and researching to try to fix it, but work is a pain right now. I’ll update if I manage to figure it out.

Thank you in advance!

    I think you can consider the issue solved at this point… Last thing to check is the cpu usage while the torrent is active. If it’s being pegged, that could limit your speeds.

      Awesome. Thank you so much for your help!

      I gotta figure out how to check CPU usage on a headless Linux environment lol.
