Help with setting up qbittorrentvpn

VPN
1

Hello everyone,

I was actually following the trash guides and when I came across the part about Prowlarr he mentioned about setting up privoxy for your torrent client. I came across this docker image (GitHub - binhex/arch-qbittorrentvpn: Docker build script for Arch Linux base with qBittorrent, Privoxy and OpenVPN). I follow the instructions for the same, I couldn’t find any error in my logs but the webui doesn’t seem to work. I am sorry if this is a stupid question, I have only setup *arrs and jellyfin and have been using them for the past month or so.

Here is my docker run command:

docker run -d \
--cap-add=NET_ADMIN \
-p 8090:8090 \
-p 8118:8118 \
--name=qbittorrentvpn \
-v /DATA/AppData/qbittorrentvpn/data:/data \
-v /DATA/AppData/qbittorrentvpn/config:/config \
-v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro \
-e VPN_ENABLED=yes \
-e VPN_USER=uname \
-e VPN_PASS=pass \
-e VPN_PROV=protonvpn \
-e VPN_CLIENT=openvpn \
-e ENABLE_PRIVOXY=yes \
-e ENABLE_STARTUP_SCRIPTS=yes \
-e LAN_NETWORK=192.168.0.0/24 \
-e NAME_SERVERS=1.0.0.1,1.1.1.1 \
-e DEBUG=true \
-e WEBUI_PORT=8090 \
-e PUID=1000 \
-e PGID=1000 \
binhex/arch-qbittorrentvpn

I can’t see any errors in the logs.

Please let me know if I am doing something wrong.

EDIT: Changed the ports in the docker run command. Noticed that setting VPN_ENBALED=no fixes the issue but how I can access the webui with the option being enabled?

Gluetun works better. Its simpler to setup and works with wireguard.

I use this one:

Is your LAN_NETWORK value correct? It sounds like the container isn’t making a vpn routing exception for your client

  1. get your LAN IP address from ipconfig/ifconfig/etc. E.x. 192.168.1.50

  2. replace the last number with 0 and add /24 e.x. 192.168.1.0/24

You’ve got a few recommendations to use a different image. I’d second that by saying I believe the binhex image is no longer supported.

I’d suggest using the image by hotio.

Pretty sure that is correct (https://imgur.com/a/Di8Sch5)

FWIW, binhex image was last updated (as of today) two weeks ago (December 18, 2024) so it appears to still being supported…

This image is now deprecated and will no longer be maintained

That’s the rtorrent image, not the qbitorrentvpn image…
