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 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.

          Huh, the other comments show as deleted on my side? Strange.

          But it was a glitch of either Connect for Lemmy or of Lemmy itself! About 60-75% of the time I try to post a comment, it times out or whatever and I am under the assumption that it failed to post, so I click “post” again, and that’s how I end up with multiple comments haha.

          I’ve started just copying my entire comment, and backing out to check if it already posted when I get that error.

          Thanka for bringing it up! :) (Let’s see if this comment times out haha)

          (Update: yes, it timed out again, but still posted lol)

      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!!
