How do I confirm deluge is going through my vpn?

VPN
1

I’m sorry this is my 3rd post in 1-1.5 weeks.

First I was having problems getting to the webgui with deluge, which all of a sudden started working. Maybe it has a higher log in time?

My 2nd question isn’t important right now.

Which leaves me to my 3rd. How do I confirm I’m using my vpn? First I’ve downloaded the Ubuntu torrent with vpn off that showed up as a download through.

Then I’ve tried other Ubuntu torrents with vpn on. Which downloaded. Don’t show up in my home what have I downloaded. But when I go to the deluge console and type ifconfig. There’s 2 potential ip addresses and neither of them show the other Ubuntu files I downloaded when I search them on that site.

2

open console for the docker and type curl ifconfig.me, if it shows your ip then its not working, if shows the vpn it is

3

https://torguard.net/checkmytorrentipaddress.php

This should allow you to download a torrent file, add it to your client, and tell you what ip it’s using.

4

The IP in the bottom right of Deluge UI should be that of your VPN and not that of your WAN.

5

The webui shows your IP on the bottom right of the screen, atleast on the version I’m running, If it’s your actual IP then vpn is not working.

6

Torrent address detection can give you a magnet link, and your IP will show after a couple of seconds.

7

You can run a curl command from inside the container to get it’s public IP.

Here is what I use to test.

http://ipmagnet.services.cbcdn.com/

I also use Mullvad Wireguard VPN on the unRAID server and have my Deluge docker using that for a connection. This way, Deluge only connects if the VPN is connected.

You can use this: Releases · cas--/deluge-ipstatusbar · GitHub

10

Why not run the DelugeVPN container so that it’s built in? You can still pipe your containers through this to have them use VPN, but then it’s less worry that your downloads are on the VPN properly. Shows the public IP for the VPN in the startup log for the container.

Watch this video, he shows you how to verify your IP too.

12

this video might help https://youtu.be/znSu_FuKFW0

13

I use this one https://ipleak.net or similarly and check the ip adress

14

Iusethe following, copied it from the internet some time ago. Run it on the host machine you are running you VPN’d containers.

for I in $(docker ps --format ‘{{.Names}}’); do
location=$(docker exec -it $I curl -ks https://www.dnsleaktest.com | grep flag | sed -e ‘s/.from (.),.*/\1/’);
wanIPAddress=$(docker exec -it $I curl -ks http://www.icanhazip.com);
printf "%-15s%s%s\n” “$I:” "$location” ”$wanIPAddress”;
done

It’ll list the city of you vpn termination for each container, otherwise it’ll list the city you live in

15

just right click on the container and select logs. thatll tell you how its connecting to the internet. well it will if you are using the delgugevpn container.

16

Curl ifconfig.io

Or use torguard.

Just copy the link into deluge, and then go to that website. It will populate ip addressed.

17

You know what. I think I’m okay. I don’t think I have to bother you any further.

When I was only typing ifconfig I was getting 2 maybe potential addresses. This command you told me verified me but I haven’t seen that in other searches

Hey can I send you a dm real quick with 2 different results?

Sorry I’ve been drinking this past week with my transmission having to get rebuilt and going to cost a lot of money. A few months ago I upgraded my unraid hardware to an i5 13600k, 64gb ram and asus proart z790mobo getting ready to migrate my arrs from my mini itx from 2012 amd a10 7850k. I also just purchased on prime day a nuc 13th gen i5 with 64gb ram and 2tb ssd to replace my mini itx as a media center computer. So I want to get all this stuff migrated to shut down the itx. I know the nuc specs are overkill for a media center computer but if I can get close to 11 years out of it like I have this amd a10, it’s well worth it.

I’m going to check this out as well but everyone in this community is great and I’m finally ready to start migrating my arrs.
