I currenly reside in a country with strict piracy rules but also have access to the internet in a country where piracy is not enforced. I want to setup a VPN and route qBittorrent’s traffic through it. The idea is to do something like this:

I am fresh to selfhosting and most of the time have no clue how to achieve what I want. So far I have tried Tailscale but I think it won’t work how I want it to. If it helps, I have domain name registered. Can anybody point me to the right direction?

    Raspberry Pi:

    1. Install wireguard (as a server)
    2. Set up a peer/client config
    3. Open wireguard port on the router

    MiniPC:

    1. Install wireguard (as a client)
    2. Add server config and connect to server
    3. Verify connection
    4. Ensure connect on boot

    Points to note:

    • Configure them both locally and ensure you have a connection before you move the pi to another country

    • If you’re behind a CGNAT on one network, that’ll change some things. That network will have to be the client. (If both are behind CGNAT, you’re out of luck and cant use this - will have to be tailscale or other method)

    • If using a domain name make sure its always pointing to your ip (in case it’s not static)

    • I think if you set allowed ip as 0.0.0.0/0 on the client it’ll route all traffic.

    Edit:

    Saw your comment about just having qbt use the vpn. Check this guide out
