[Fixed] Vpn setup issues

[Linubis]

Hey all
Home server/linux/proxmox/yams noob here. Before i get started i figured i should just warn you. I can follow instructions and have been slowly gaining some very basic linux understanding but honestly if the instructions arent printed exactly as i need to type them then i end up having to google and find out what im doing wrong. So please explain it like im 5 years old. I won't be offended, i actually am operating at that level.

So far i have managed to installs yams, yes i did change my user from root! And i was able to setup proton vpn. I think.

When i run(yams check-vpn)
Its says my local ip is good but qbit failed to find an endpoint

But when i run(docker logs qbittorrent) it checks out and matches exactly as the instructions show it should. Including the last line that connection to local host 8081 succeeded.

Then when i try to log in with the browser it cant find the address.

When i checked the vpn settings it was as it should be.

When i try to update the docker compose i did find something strange.

The qbittorrent section looks correct. (When it says to comment the sections out is that a ctrl +? Function i need perform or is the blue high mean it is and the uncommented is in pink or red?)

The interesting part is that the sabnzbd contains
Image
Container name
Environment
Volume
And thats it. I dont see ports, network mode or where the help instructions say gluetun ports section is at the bottom

Did this fail to install completely? Or have i missed something?

I apologize if my post wasnt sufficient to describe in better detail. I have no idea how to paste from linux to windows forum. Or if that's even possible? Unfortunately if i need to do that ill need instructions.

Thankyou

Also i forgot to mention when i checked (docker ps|grep qbittorrent)
I dont get port 8081 i see "init" so that also isnt right.

Hey @Linubis!

If you have the VPN enabled, qBittorrent and SABnzbd don't have their ports enabled, since they use Gluetun as a network. What VPN are you using? I just fixed a bug where Port Forwarding was enabled by default, regardless if your VPN supports it or not.

Cheers!

Hello sir, thank you for creating all this. And the continued support.

I have proton vpn and i did see the post. I tried to look at the link you referenced but i didnt figure out how to see what i needed to do from there?

First, check the Gluetun logs:

Code: Select all

docker logs gluetun

And see if there's an obvious error

[Linubis]

error opnvpn auth failed

there is a line that says it looks like my credentials might be wrong

[rogs]

Ok. Did you read ProtonVPN's documentation like the installer suggested? You might be trying to login using your username+password instead of the OpenVPN specific username

I just updated the documentation to warn people about using the correct credentials for ProtonVPN. You’re certainly not the only one (and probably wouldn’t have been the last) to skip reading the VPN documentation and get things wrong

Cheers!

Roger.

no sir, i followed the installation instructions which asked for vpn brand and credentials. when checked it fails.
at that point i chose common issues and under qbittorrent failed connections i followed the link to vpn configuration which i tried to do the manual configuration. not sure where is left the path but that was the route i took.

I understand that have not configured this properly and will follow the link and hopefully can report back my installation is a success.

thankyou
especially for having the patience with someone trying to run before they can crawl.

The VPN credentials for ProtonVPN are not the same as the credentials you use to login to the ProtonVPN panel. Read the docs I linked in my 2nd last message, be aware of that.
