# qBittorrentProtonVPN
Guide for setting up qBittorrent to use ProtonVPN using Docker:
In this guide we'll create two containers, one for qBittorrent from the linuxserver.io
The other one is for gluetun (vpn client) which is what we'll use for the ProtonVPN connection.
Essentially, we're going to route qBittorrent traffic into the gluetun container.
First you'll need to login to https://account.protonvpn.com
Then you'll need to take note of your OpenVPN Credentials in here:
### Create the necessary folders:
```
mkdir -p "$HOME/Docker/protonvpn" && mkdir -p "$HOME/Docker/qbittorrent/config"
```
### Use cat to quickly fill in the info for the gluetun yml file:
In case you want to check the documentation about glueton and protonvpn, check [this](https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun-wiki/blob/main/setup/providers/protonvpn.md)
```
cat < "$HOME/Docker/protonvpn/docker-compose.yml"
services:
gluetun:
image: qmcgaw/gluetun
container_name: protonvpn
cap_add:
- NET_ADMIN
devices:
- /dev/net/tun:/dev/net/tun
ports: # These are the qBittorrent ports, I like to use random ports and not the default ports 49152
- 49893:49893 # This is for the qBittorrent WebUI Port
- 6881:6881 # Listening port for TCP
- 6881:6881/udp # Listening port for UDP
environment:
- VPN_SERVICE_PROVIDER=protonvpn
- OPENVPN_USER=username # REPLACE these with your OpenVPN credentials. Use +pmp after your username to use port forwarding
- OPENVPN_PASSWORD=password # REPLACE these with your OpenVPN credentials
- VPN_PORT_FORWARDING=on
- SERVER_COUNTRIES=Netherlands,Germany # The server countries we'll use. They have to be P2P
volumes:
- ./config:/gluetun
restart: unless-stopped
EOF
```
### Use cat to quickly fill in the info for the qbittorrent yml file:
```
cat < "$HOME/Docker/qbittorrent/docker-compose.yml"
services:
qbittorrent:
image: lscr.io/linuxserver/qbittorrent:latest
container_name: qbittorrent
environment:
- PUID=1000 # to find your current ID just type "id" in the terminal
- PGID=1000 # to find your current group ID just type "id" in the terminal
- TZ=Etc/UTC
- WEBUI_PORT=49893 # This needs to be the exact same port we used on glueton for the WebUI
- TORRENTING_PORT=6881
volumes:
- ./config:/config # this will create the config folder in the same folder as we have the yml file
- /path/to/your/drive:/downloads # change the left part of : to your actual path where you want to store your downloads
network_mode: "container:protonvpn" # this needs to be the exact same name as the protonvpn container we defined
restart: unless-stopped
EOF
```
### Download latest VueTorrent Theme (optional)
```
curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/VueTorrent/VueTorrent/releases/latest | jq -r '.assets[] | select(.name | endswith(".zip")) | .browser_download_url' | xargs -I{} sh -c 'curl -L -o /tmp/vuetorrent.zip {}
unzip -o /tmp/vuetorrent.zip -d $HOME/Docker/qbittorrent/config
rm /tmp/vuetorrent.zip'
```
- **Don't forget to set the theme in qbittorrent web UI**
- Options -> Web UI -> Use alternative Web UI -> `/config/vuetorrent`
### Start the gluetun/protonvpn container:
```
docker-compose -f "$HOME/Docker/protonvpn/docker-compose.yml" up -d
```
### Start the qbittorrent container:
```
docker-compose -f "$HOME/Docker/qbittorrent/docker-compose.yml" up -d
```
### Get qbittorrent credentials with:
```
echo -n "\nUsername: admin \nPassword: " && docker logs qbittorrent 2>&1 | tac | grep -m 1 -oP 'A temporary password is provided for this session: \K\w+'
```
- **Don't forget to change the password** in qbittorrent web UI -> go to Options -> Web UI
### Access the WebUI:
- Go to http://localhost:49893
### Test the connection:
Open terminal in your docker container:
```
docker exec -it qbittorrent /bin/bash
```
Get information about the public IP the container is currently using:
```
curl -sS https://ipinfo.io/json
```
### Good settings to use with ProtonVPN and pmp for qbittorrent:
**You can enable DHT if you want more peers**
