Hey folks,

Need a hand with my setup. I upgraded from Core to Scale last week and safe to say I don't have my feet under me yet.

I use NordVPN as my provider, so I followed the guide on their wiki to get it set-up as well as the guide on TrueCharts which had some screenshots.

I did my best to follow the steps. I enabled Gluetun, hit the killswitch, included my in-home 19.168.x.x/24 network and my container 172.168.x.x/16 network

Since NordVPN is a real prick about Wireguard, I used the Openvpn steps, adding the environmental details
  • VPN_SERVICE_PROVIDER
  • OPENVPN_USER
  • OPENVPN_PASSWORD
and I added in one for a specific NordVPN host nearby.

But when I go to my qBit instance, there is no tun listed in my settings:

Can anyone tell what step I'm missing here?

Alright! Score one for reading the logs. For those that come after me, here you go:

Read thru the logs and figure out what's up. I can't recall what exact errors I got, unfortunately, but they pointed me to the server hostname throwing errors along with some credential issues.

What I had to do for mine is create an openvpn configuration file pointing at the server I wanted, then I pointed at it

Then I removed the SERVER_HOSTNAMES variable, booted it up, and I've got tun now!
