Installing qBittorrent with a VPN on TrueNAS Scale

[@Patrick33456]

No need to change the password manually in the config file. You can skip all that by going into the logs for qBitorrent and if you haven't set a password, you will see they provide a temp one in the logs. Not obvious to find but in my opinion more straight forward than changing log files

I came to say the same thing lool

[@michaeltristan]

works like a charm-many thanks!

I may be wrong, but to my understanding SOCKS doesn't actually encrypt your data, it just acts as a proxy: changing your perceived location. it won't stop your ISP from seeing what you're doing

[@frozennorthproductions]

It’s the VPN provider itself, the SOCKS connection uses a NordVPN server as a proxy so your traffic is only visible to the ISP to Nord at like blank packets, and from Nord to the torrents is encrypted. If you run an IP leak detector, the only info that comes back is that the IP belongs to NordVPN and nothing else shows.

Holy shit I've been looking for this video for hours and you gave me exactly what I needed. Tysm

A little simpler approach to the qbittorrent password problem: check logs (workloads pane and then the stickynote looking thing) a random password will be there, use that to log in the first time.

how to do this.

[@Expateer]

That was EXACTLY was I was looking for. Thanks!

[@smazerolle]

Great video explaining this. Can you do one on connecting Radarr to qBittorrent? I keep having issues with the files not moving to the directory created.

[@jipiquittot]

On my version (installed QT yesterday), the search plugins don't work. Do you have the same issue?

[@krutarthpatel1991]

I used this setup for one day, and now my IP is blocked. I am getting "permission denied " for all trackers. Does anyone else have the same problem?

[@iandoesallthethings]

I'm getting this too. Not sure how to troubleshoot it.

tyvm i was looking to fix this thing i did mine slightly different as i have filebrowser installed but same steps Dont know why they dont inclue this on the page or default in the installer to start with. The true charts did this automatically without all the work arounds. But recently it stoped downloading stuff all together was trying to check if it would work if fresh install with truenas version

[@MarsBarBS]

Почему ты не показал как ты создал папку для загрузок. Как настроить сам клиент я понял, а вот как джать разрешения на запись к дирректории и от какогоь порльзователя запускать сам клиент я не понял. Очень все запутанно и сложно. Почему так трудно сделать все намного проще как в Core версии, или к примеру в OpenMediaVault. Там на прямую в Docker контейнере указывается путь

Hello new to truenas installed the qbittorrent application on truenas scale, but when i try downloading a torrent it instantly goes to ERRORED, need suggestions on whats wrong

[@AnDOnlineify]

Most likely permissions. It says error because qbittorrent isn't allowed to write directly there

[@yangguozhang5125]

@@AnDOnlineify It is indeed a problem with permission settings, thank you

[@jipiquittot]

Excellent video, could you make a video teaching how transcode works with a video card in TrueNAS Scale? (Jellyfin)
