Deluge Custom VPN Issues

VPN
1

Okay, so I’m trying to set up Deluge with my VPN, but I don’t think it using the VPN when I open it. I use VPN Unlimited and I put the Open VPN file in the correct folder in the appdata folder. I tried to start Deluge with both usernames and passwords below, but no dice. What is my next move?

tough to see from your screenshot, are you using the deluge-vpn docker app?

I recall having some issues originally as well setting up vpn unlimited to work with the deluge-vpn docker app.

  1. vpn unlimited doesnt allow torrents from many locations. there are only a handful that do (at least that was the case when i set mine up)
  2. vpn unlimited default port was 1194, and NOT 1198 which is default in the docker config.

can confirm this is currently working together fine.

What does the log show?

I am using that app. The screenshot was from the settings vpn unlimited gave me.

  1. I am using the correct server
  2. I will change that, thanks.

What else do you remember you needed to change to get it working?

setting up vpn unlimited

Does it for sure work with deluge? Does it have port forwarding?

hmm, what else… it was a few years ago, and i rarely use torrents anymore :stuck_out_tongue:

i vaguely remember needing to rename / drop the .ovpn file that vpn unlimited gave you into ./user/appdata/binhex-delugevpn/openvpn/

when you start it up, open the log file as it launches. I put my logs in debug in the docker settings until you confirm it works. You should see somthing like:

‘successfully received ip address of xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx’

you can also test a torrent like one from here that will show you what others attached to the torrent will see your ip address

if its different than what is in http://www.whatismyip.net then youre good to go.

You are a lifesaver! Now if I could only fix my other unraid problems…

good to hear.

I remember banging my head against the wall in frustration when i originally set it up as well.

If you cant find the help in this sub that you are looking for, the unraid forums are really useful, and there are tons of people in the community willing to offer assitance.
