I’ve been on and off been having issues connecting to seeds and peers for anything I download with qbit lately. I have ProtonVPN and I am connected to p2p servers, some torrents are stuck at 0(0) whereas some will be stuck at 0(2817).

I have made sure the port in qbit is set correctly and the interface device, along with opening the port on my router. Ultimately what seems to work is I have to change the port several times, change the interface to ethernet, then back to Proton, then a single download works. Any tips for a fellow pirate?

    Docker is a cleaner solution for split tunneling. Container for the VPN (gluetun), and container for qbit bound to the VPN container for network access. You still need to manage the listening port when Proton changes it, but that’s easy enough.

    If you set it up right, it also doubles as a bulletproof killswitch since qbit can’t see any other network.

        In case you need a pointer, I had to do this recently too. I’m no docker expert, but this works for me 👌
