How to route transmission through Mullvad? angielski

mara, rok temu

I personally shove Transmission into Docker:

Make sure your mullvad config is called wg0.conf in ./config.

I do this except with github.com/qdm12/gluetun

(which apparently also can be used as a k8s sidecar container, am gonna try this soon as well)

christophski, rok temu

I’m trying this and it seems to be running. If I run curl 127.0.0.1:9091 I get a 403 which is expected but if I try to access the same from another computer on the network then the connection times out, any idea what could be the cause?

Oh yes, got your password :p

Consider moving from mullvad if you are into torrenting. Mullvad doesnt support port forwarding anymore. But no matter what provider you chose, use docker container gluetun to route traffic from any other container (like transmission). I like transmission, but most people use qbittorrent because its more advanced. You can also set up VPN in qbittorrent settings

sxan, rok temu

Which affects torrentors how?

Jerbil, rok temu

If the port you’re connecting through isn’t forwarded, it isn’t allowing most connections through, drastically slowing down your speed and ability to seed, since you can’t connect to any peers.

sxan, rok temu

I don’t torrent, as a rule, so I can’t say I’d notice any speed reduction. I had, however, noticed that no matter how long I kept seeding, I’d gotten few - or maybe no - connections. I didn’t know if this were because nobody else was leeching the thing at the time, or something else like this.

I’m very reluctant to give up Mullvad. So far, in all ways I care about they’ve demonstrated justification for brand loyalty. Plus, I’ve been with them for years and already have everything set up and configured across multiple deviiiiceeeessss.

As I said, torrenting isn’t a critical activity for me, so I’ll hang tight. I am curious to know if Mullvad has given a justification for stopping support for port forwarding. They used to, right? So it was work for them to stop.

Here is their blog post about it: mullvad.net/…/removing-the-support-for-forwarded-…

Thank you for the link! Very informative.

You’ll get more connections if people can get to you; otherwise, you’re only connecting to people who are port forwarding themselves. If you’re port forwarding, you can connect to everyone.

I highly recommend moving that to a docker or podman setup. Gluetun is the go-to for VPN traffic. Set up a little container and you can link other containers to it to route all their traffic through.

GregoryTheGreat, rok temu

The best way I’ve found.

Oisteink, rok temu

You might want your program and the vpn interface to be in a separate namespace? Somewhat opposite this: www.wireguard.com/netns/#the-new-namespace-soluti…

You don’t want all traffic routed, you want only this one app. More info here: linuxhint.com/use-linux-network-namespace/

i use this github.com/haugene/docker-transmission-openvpn

Mullvad is using WireGuard though

nicocool84, rok temu

If transmission is running in a container, my latest blog post is actually about that: www.nicoco.fr/blog/2023/09/10/wireguard/

newIdentity, rok temu

I use UFW
