And that is why I don’t torrent, living in Germany. Even just leeching will put you on the radar of, at best scam law firms, at worst motivated rights-holders.
qbt only ever sees the VPN as its network. It is logically isolated from my main gateway.
there are healthchecks running, so if the VPN fails qbt enters in a restart loop until the VPN is back to a healthy status.
I use private trackers for 99% of my torrents.
You also have to know that these scummy law firms use honey pot attacks, where they advertise themselves as leechers and record your IP if you upload to them. Technically a proxy to another country would just be enough here, but hey, this works too and I sleep better.
Since you use a torrent container and a vpn container I am interested in how you manage to communicate with the torrent container.
Do you utilize the *arr stack? Also with a docker?
If the answer is yes, how did you achieve the communication between the containers?
Reason I am asking is, that I want to connect to my other container but when I bind my container to the service I am unable to let it communicate directly with it.
By that logic, I’d need to access the container through the vpn container, right? (*arr <-> vpn container <-> downloader container)
After much thinking I managed it myself and found that out as well. What I also needed was the environment variable FIREWALL_OUTBOUND_SUBNETS so my other containers could connect to the container.
Freaking slow, exactly like Tor imo.
The last torified torrenting test was many years ago. Speeds were at 100kb/s. Nope. With double VPN I’m at ~150 Mbit/s during torrent downloading.

I have downloaded dozens of terabytes in Germany and I’m doing fine buddy.
For now…
No need to risk your savings over Avengers Endgame 4K…
I’ve been doing it for almost 10 years. I know what I am doing. I have several layers of security.
If you however are a tech illiterate then of course you’ll get fined. I have friends who got fined too.
Would it be possible to reveal what you did to increase security?
I always (want to) try to improve mine.
I have two containers, qBittorrent and the VPN:

You have to expose the qbt http port in your VPN container. All API communication (arrs etc) goes through here.

Just use a VPN
VPN and you are fine lol. Sometimes you have to pay even for illegal stuff… Nothing’s free…
You could use i2p for bittorrent, it is free, slower but secure.

And time is more expensive than anything else :)
