qBittorrent official forums

Hi!

I'm running a VPN client on my router to which i only route certain data, like torrent traffic.

But i'm having issues, even though i limited outgoing ports to 6881-7000 (and mangle those ports both TCP and UDP) it seems like traffic are going other ways around.

How would i approach this the best way?

It seems like connections are going on port 6771 and ports around 60k too, what should i do?

Thanks

Uhm, you can only set the inbound port, which is 6881-6889.
That means that if you have said port open, clients will connect you on that port if you share data with those peers.

But when you connect to others for example, that's a totally different story.
One way to limit all port traffic is to use a SOCKS proxy, like BTGuard.
Or, you can also set a network interface in qBittorrent, which would work with an OpenVPN (AirVPN/PIA) service.

Mhm, i saw qBittorrent didn't recognize PPTP vpns, i'd have to set up a OpenVPN server on my router, disable default GW on the interface in windows and use qBittorrents interface selector to route traffic that way?

Then route all traffic from my openvpn subnet in the router out my pptp vpn client?

(Do you think that'd work?)

Thanks for the reply!

well qBittorrent shows the network interfaces there.
but, a native pptp connection from Windows is not a new interface.

meanwhile if you use OpenVPN, it installs a new TAP/TUN interface, and that is why you can select it.
uhm basically just use a VPN provider that allows OpenVPN.
most of them use OpenVPN (PIA, AirVPN, etc.). hell, the use of PPTP is discouraged.

Yes thing is i don't really wanna run a VPN from my computer... Hell i'll see what i can do =)

Thanks though

The easiest and most convenient thing: SOCKS5 proxy.
That way the rest of the apps use your normal connection, etc.

But it renders you passive. So there is that.

That is where any VPN would be set up, unless you are think of purchasing a separate piece of hardware
