I’ll start. Did you know you can run a headless version of JD2 on a raspberry pi? It’s not the greatest thing in the world, but sometimes its nice to throw a bunch of links in there and go to sleep.
My choice is haugene/transmission which doesn’t open unless it has a connection to the VPN. Great for PIA, but I’m thinking about switching to proton unltd so will have to do some testing in another container before I take the plunge.
You can configure openvpn in regular qbittorrent, probably transmission too. What they are talking about is a docker container, particularly useful when combined with sonarr and radarr containers.
Binhex does the same thing. There are checks performed before it allows connections to make sure it can resolve DNS across the VPN interface and that it can obtain an IP address from PIA (I also use them, grandfathered $6.95/mo baybee).
Are you using port forwarding? Back when I had PIA (before they sold), they would randomly assign you a port when you connected which caused major issues with QBit as you have to set a fixed port number. Not sure if that’s your issue but it might be worth looking into.
I do, and qbit (through Binhex’s container image) matches that port in qbit whenever it gets assigned. I think. Personally I’ve almost never had an issue reaching peers

why is this the first time hearing about haugene. I use pia too, what are you running it on?

There’s a nice Docker container for it. https://hub.docker.com/r/haugene/transmission-openvpn
awesome, thank you

Nice, im grandfathered into a cheap yearly rate, i thinks its like 60 a year
