Maybe a dumb question but I can’t seam to find out how to see my ip address I’m using when downloading… how do I find out what ip address I’m using while downloading… I can’t find where it is… I’m using a modified VPN and need to verify it’s working correctly
Sorry People are getting confused I need to know how to check my IP address with in the qBittorrent not outside of it… Im running a Docker version of qBittorrent called dyonr/qbittorrentvpn that will fail safe if VPN does down so I’m wanting to check what IP address it seeing with in the qBittorrent not outside of it… the what my IP address site will not help me because with reverse proxies will not work with VPN’s… that’s why I need to check with in the app not outside of the app
Solved… I found the location of where to see IP address within qBitTorrent and thanks to everyone I was able to download a tester torrent to verify it
A lot of interesting answers to this, but in qbittorrent you can hit view → Log, click the execution log tab, and look for “Detected External IP”
I like this one
Its simple and works for me.
I think it’s just dnsleaktest but google around a bit. There are places that host torrent files and their tracker responds with your IP address, the torrent does t download anything.
What I need is a the process within or add-on to qBittorrent that will show me my IP address unfortunately a 3rd party website will not help me at all… here is the actual file In running https://hub.docker.com/r/dyonr/qbittorrentvpn if any one wants to know… I’m running it on Linux Mint 20.3 with Docker compose and Portainer
I wrote a simple “Search plugin” for the same reason, that queries a service and returns your IP. It queries it any time I do a search.
https://github.com/qbittorrent/search-plugins/pull/303/files
You can install it manually yourself following the guide in the search plugin popup
io uso https://mioip.info, anzi uso l’api con curl mioip.info
I’m using dyonr/qbittorrentvpn a docker version of it that supports OpenVPN and I setup openvpn config files for it… but need to verify that its working through the VPN… I’m not using VPN throughout the OS just through qBitTorrent … to check outside of app really wouldn’t tell me anything… I’m guessing you checking from a web browser what IP address your running this will give my actual IP not the IP though the app that I need to verify
Cool thanks I see it there… was also able to test it with a torrent file too
I like this, this is quick. Is this pretty reliable?
I notice when I use ipleak I see the IP of my VPN server, but also a few IPs that are different than the VPN server. But none of them are my ISPs public IP. Are these maybe IPs that the VPN service cycles?
Im running dyonr/qbittorrentvpn a docker version of it that supports OpenVPN and I setup openvpn config files for it. so I would have to test it within the app… the way your saying is external outside the app that isn’t protected by VPN but within Qbit it is… but I need to check it with in not outside of it
I dont think that will help me unfortunately because you giving me a link out side of the app I need a why to check it within the app… Im using qbittorrentvpn a qBittorrent, WireGuard and OpenVPN
I wrote a search plugin that queries my IP every time I do a search. Unconventional, but convenient.

I just installed this, and it works great. Thanks!
If you look around on the website, there is a section called “torrent address detection”
I’m a little confused from what your say but you just search “what is my IP” with your VPN off and then remember it and then download the torrent file and put it into qbittorrent then wait a second for it to show an IP and if the IP is different then your VPN is working.
To clarify my web browser doesn’t go through my VPN but I have qBitTorrent go through it… so if I do a google search of what my ip address is it’s not going to show me my VPN address but my public address… so I have to check it within the application it self… I can’t have all of my traffic go through my VPN… see what your doing is having all your traffic going through it but it will block my critical service’s I’m running if I do that… so I have too setup some app to run through it and others can’t… so to verify I need to have the torrent check it to see if it’s passing through it or not… I need to check to see if it is… so I need to check within the app itself not outside the app like a web browser
