Yes, just use the IP address assigned to your qBittorrent PC by the VPN
By now I have tried all IPs showed with ifconfig (I am using linux). Several work if I try to open the IP+port (8080) with a browser directly from the computer. But none work on my phone, neither on a browser or in the app.
From my PC, these work: 127.0.0.1 - But this definitely couldn't work on my phone... 10.26.0.18 - This is given by the VPN 192.168.2.103 - This is given by the wifi network.
Tried without VPN connected. Now I only have 192.168.2.103 when running ifconfig. And the qBittorrent-Controller (192.168.2.103:8080) works on my PC, but not on my phone. Is there any reason for that ?
Ok, finally solved it!
First issue was the Linux firewall. I had Gufw Firewall on. Solution for this was to turn it off, or add a rule for port 8080.
After this 192.168.2.103:8080 (without VPN and with VPN also) started working in the browser on my phone, but in the app I was getting "Host not found!" error Solution for this was to update the qbittorrent from my PC to the latest version.
Now it works in app also!
Is it possible to use qBittorrent-Controller if on my PC I am downloading through a VPN?
