No option to bind VPN interface

Post by robertsbart46 »

I am running qbittorrent with docker and am using wireguard to connect with my vpn provider. Once connected with the vpn I would expect to see the wg0 wireguard interface as option to bind to under Settings->Advanced->Network Interface, but I am only seeing eth0 and lo as options. Not sure what the problem is as I have used an identical setup on another device without an issue.

Ubuntu 24.10
Qbittorrent from linuxserver.io
Wireguard with config file provided by ProtonVPN

To be able to bind, you need to use a VPN solution which relies on an interface.
So basically, you need to use OpenVPN for example, because it has its own interface. But Wireguard does not.
