I’m searching for a VPN with port forwarding support in gluetun. I was going to use Mullvad but saw that they removed port forwarding. Do you have any recommandations ?
I use gluetun with PIA without port forwarding and it seems to work fine and popular torrents upload at a pretty good speed.
Any particular reason you need port forwarding as it seems that a lot of VPNs are moving away from this due to abuse?
I second the Windscribe suggestion someone else already posted. But I’ve just helped a buddy get it working last week using Torguard and Glueton’s custom wireguard configuration.
Both Windscribe and Torguard (and I imagine all port forwarding capable vpns) do require the optional dedicated IP add-on on your vpn account. Torguard was the cheaper option at least as of 2 weeks ago.
Let me know if you end up going with Torguard, I have a tested and working compose I can share.
AirVPN is the best VPN. Small caveat is, you need to identify the best location with some testing and once the location is identified, it should be really good.
I also have same setup like qBitTorrent running behind Gluetun VPN and I configured it with wireguard. It took a couple of days for me to identify the server that has the best speeds for me but now, it is very stable.
Small note is, I have seen lot of people have negative review on this VPN but for me it is really good and port forwarding is straight forward (5 is the limit).
I use the free proton vpn, works good so far
I am not sure about they are going away and I am not into lots of private trackers. And those I am in, they strongly suggest to have port forwarding enabled like MAM and Z’s etc.
Did you use OVPN or Wireguard protocol? I’m having trouble getting a Wireguard version with Gluetun and PIA
Any chance you might be able share some of your docker-compose? I’m switching from Nord to Torguard and trying not to lose my sanity.
Hey, could I get any info on running Qbittorrent through Gluetun? I’m having a hard time setting it up with Mullvad
With gluetun? It won’t work good for me at all and just drops the connection after like a minute or two
Oh ok. But if you read Mulvad’s post about why they removed port forwarding they talk about it being abused and there are a few posts around with people struggling to find providers now.
Sure, I’ll ask the friend for the current compose as he is still running this configuration. Please shoot me a message.
Could you please provide more info on the issue you are facing?
I am using AirVPN for Qbit with Glutan. Are you looking for my docker compose file?
Yeah, all those VPN providers give the same reason to pull off the support for port forwarding. But if you are using VPN for torrenting, private trackers recommend to have port forward. It may still work without port forwarding but they say, you won’t be connectable means less number of peers.
I suppose so - I apologize for not being more specific. I’m new to the hobby and have successfully set up Qbit and can access the webUI, I’m having a hard time getting Gluetun to work. If you have a compose file or any general advice I would take anything lol.
Bonjour
Je suis également sur proton vpn avez vous un fichier de config sous gluetun car moi ca ne fonctionne pas la redirection de port en openvpn comme en wiregard.
D’avance merci
How could you manage it working? When I try to use Free Proton VPN, it says AUTH_FAILED for me. However If I I subscription from them than it is working without changing anything.
