qbittorrent slow when on nord vpn

[grrminator]

When pushing torrents through qbittorrent vpn, the speed is immensely slow. Compared to without. I connected to the same server on my desktop via the nord VPN app and it was a ton faster.

Like it still downloads but is slow. And I am using the ubuntu torrents for 22.04 to test to be sure I have tons of seeds. My max speed is 5MBps while the flag is VPN flag is set to yes, but 80+ when set to no.

Speedtests are showing 40-80MBPs on the same exact server for nord VPN on the desktop.

I am having the same issue with Surf Shark VPN.

My download speed when connected to the VPN is maybe 5KBps.

Is fine without VPN. I tested and made sure the VPN is not throttling.

use this container and nordvpn.

Nord vpn has been solid for me and their servers scream. Im talking 50megaBYTES per second.

Using this docker compose here

nordlynx: container_name: nordlynx image: ghcr.io/bubuntux/nordlynx cap_add:

• NET_ADMIN #required environment:
• PRIVATE_KEY=[INSERT YOUR PRIVATE KEY KERE]
• NET_LOCAL=192.168.10.0/24

Sorry please see my reply above!

And then you want to set your qbittorrent like this with the nordlynx hooked into it:

qbittorrent: image: linuxserver/qbittorrent network_mode: service:nordlynx privileged: true depends_on:

• nordlynx container_name: qbittorrent environment:
• PUID=1000
• PGID=1000
• TZ=America\New_York
• UMASK_SET=022
• WEBUI_PORT=8080
• WEBUI_PORT_ENV=8080 volumes:
• /mnt/user/appdata/config/qbittorrent:/config

• /mnt/user/appdata/data/media/torrents:/data/media/torrents healthcheck: test: curl --fail http://google.com || exit 1 interval: 10s timeout: 5s retries: 6 restart: unless-stopped

  IN PARTICULAR, You really need the network mode and depends on portion.

  That forces qbittorrent to use the nordlynx container network (therefore VPN) and depends on so that if nordlynx breaks, qbittorrent WONT start and download stuff outside the VPN!

Awesome thank you!

I am wondering if this will cause other issues though as for my specific setup I need the qbit container to be connected to a specific docker network to be able to communicate with a few other containers directly.

If I am not mistaken this looks like this is a way to route some docker containers traffic through another container and that other container is connected to a VPN in this case?

[grrminator]

think of the nordlynx container behaving like a network adapter in the compose file above.

The qbittorrent uses it as an outbound container.

All of these should still communicate to eachother locally. At least they do on my system.
