Im far from a guru, iv only just built and got my Truenas system up and running.
I have really struggled over getting qBittorrent via an openVPN in a jail to work properly. I was really pleased with myself, but it has a snag.
qBittorrent works great, i can leave it for several hours, and it'll be fine, but if i leave it and come back after a couple of days it always seems to be blocked from connecting. All torrents that i add will stall. There is definitely an internet connection to the jail, and it has the correct WAN IP for the VPN, so that's all still working.
However, i have found that if i go to the qBittorrent settings and switch the network interface to something else (anything at all) and then save, then switch it back to my VPN interface tun0 & save again, then it all springs to life again & the data and peers start flooding in, why!
I don't have a clue. I followed this and this to get it working.
I did try Deluge, but i could not get the vpn to work.
Ideally if someone could tell me how to fix qBittorrent that would be ideal as it takes me days to figure out these things (if i can at all), so switching to another torrent client is my last case scenario.
