Using NOX WebUI over VPN

Post by shylissyr1 »

Hi all,

is there a way to configure qBittorrent NOX so that only clients within a specific IP range can access the WebUI?
If so, how can i do it?
qBittorrent version: v3.3.10, OS: Ubuntu 16.04 x86 (server edition).

You could easily use "ufw" for this.

It's not hard to learn (in fact it is really simple, it is designed to be simple, after all.)
Simply:
1) install ufw
2) allow your SSH port or whatever you use to reach your server
3) set the rule for qbittorrent's webUI port, to only allow connection from X IP
4) call it a day

It's a 10 minute task.
- You could also use SSH Port forward simply. This is also a common practice.
