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!
you need to set up port forwarding not only with your vpn provider, but also with gluetun:

Oh my goodness. I’m bad at Google Fu apparently. Thank you so much!
You multi-posted. once you’ve sent off a comment, make sure to refresh the page (without resending the data) to see it show up. It can take a bit. Also, sometimes there’s glitches. Not sure which it is in this case but it’s worth mentioning.
Oh. My.god. I’m worse at Google Fi than I thought.
Thank you so much! I’ll try to get it set up on my break, and report back. Again, thank you so much!!
Did you have a stroke commenting this 4 times? lol
