I have tried various ports and two different providers, but still being stuck behind a firewall and qbittorrent is not downloading anything, I also tried transmission and still did not work. This is trying to download a ubuntu iso. Health check is also failing....

Re: qbittorrent stuck on being behind firewall / metadata download

Post by rogs »

Hey @tutankhamun!

Being stuck behind a firewall isn’t necessarily a dealbreaker; it just means your peer connection is more limited. To improve it, you’ll either need to open a port on your router or use a VPN that supports port forwarding.

I noticed you added restarter to your docker-compose.yml. Just curious, what’s the goal behind that? Generally, it’s not recommended to add utility containers like that directly to your base Compose file. If you're trying to restart a container periodically, a cronjob like this is a simpler and cleaner solution:

Code: Select all

*/20 * * * * /usr/bin/docker restart qbittorrent

Also, I saw in your second log that you’re using Private Internet Access (PIA) with port forwarding enabled. Just a heads-up: the documentation for Gluetun clearly states that PIA’s port forwarding isn't working right now (link). The YAMS installer even recommends reading through it, so definitely give it a look to avoid chasing ghosts 😅.

Cheers!

Roger.

Re: qbittorrent stuck on being behind firewall / metadata download

Post by rogs »

Again, being behind a firewall is not an issue. YAMS runs in firewalled mode by default.

However, your VPN doesn’t support port forwarding, so opening a port on your router won’t help. Gluetun creates its own isolated network, separate from your local one.

Cheers!

Roger.

You are also adding a lot of ports to Gluetun. Why did you do that?

I found out I had to use another server from the same provider and it is working now with vpn unlimited.
