Hi,
Forgive me as I’m still a noob with Unraid, but here goes: I’ve just installed binhex’s delugeVPN and got it up and running. The download speed was suspiciously high however. I want to make sure that the VPN is running and that I’m protected. To do this, I went to https://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/ and typed in my public IP address and port 24315. The website says that this port is closed.
Does this definitively mean that the VPN is connected and operational? Is there an easier way to see if the VPN is connected, and which server it’s connected to?
Thanks for any help 
check the ip it shows you in the bottom right of deluge. should match your vpn ip and not your home wan.
open console for deluge and type:
curl ifconfig.me
it should show your VPN IP and not your public IP
I know in the past if the vpn isn’t connected I would not be able to get into the webgui
Click on the deluge icon and select console. Then type: „curl ifconfig.io“. Copy the displayed IP address and check with „https://whatismyipaddress.com“ if the ip matches with the location you selected with your vpn provider.
I use this on my qbittorrent instance. https://ipleak.net/
Scroll down to ‘Torrent Address Detection’ and select ‘Activate’, then copy the magnet link & add it to deluge.
It will show you the IP that’s being used on the webpage.
When setting mine up it was recommended to use https://torguard.net/checkmytorrentipaddress.php?hash=a157554b6e67d6577d131738d479563a39e2ba36 to verify whichever torrent client you were using is using the VPN. Just copy the “download now” address into your torrent client and watch the box underneath to very it is not using your local ip address.
You should definitely check if you’re curious but all the binhex torrent/VPN images should have a kill-switch so torrents won’t download if VPN is down.
Ah there it is. Thank you good Sir!
This is the reason I use deluge over the other torrent dockers.
Tried the one you suggested. It didn’t start downloading.
Same. Run the same container. When the VPN dies it kills the routing table for local access. That’s why we have to enter our local subnet into the config
Also there is a site that will tell you what your IP address has downloaded. Pop in your IP and see if downloads from after your VPN setup show ul.
no, it shows just the IP. check the commands on the website
It’s ok if it doesn’t start downloading, it shouldn’t. After a few seconds and/or page refresh, the website where you downloaded should report your IP.
interesting, the last time I used just ifconfig.me and I got a lot of stuff that I didn’t want to know about so I only used ifconfig.me/ip since then. good to know thanks
