Failed to get qBittorrent IP from any endpoint / AUTH_FAILED

[CornAndBerry]

Hi,
I'm running into an issue starting my VPN connection. I'm using the standard ProtonVPN installation. When I check the VPN status using: yams check-vpn. I receive the following error message:

Code: Select all

Failed to get qBittorrent IP from any endpoint.

I checked the logs and found this line: AUTH: Received control message: AUTH_FAILED

I managed to get it working earlier, then did some extra steps to add the Wireguard configuration and it stopped working since then. So tried get back to the original configuration buy that didn't work. So I deleted all docker containers and even the /opt/yams dir en started the configuration again. But still got this error.

I verified that my credentials in /opt/yams/.env are correct. I also rebooted the system and even generated new credentials in my ProtonVPN account, but nothing seems to work.

When I check portainer, the gluetun container is unhealty with the following last output:

Code: Select all

2025-06-08T16:44:04Z ERROR HTTP response status is not OK: 500 500 Internal Server Error: dialing: dial tcp4: lookup cloudflare.com on 1.1.1.1:53: write udp 172.18.0.8:37591->1.1.1.1:53: write: operation not permitted 2025-06-08T16:44:04Z INFO Shutdown successful

What am I missing here? Which details can I provide to find the problem?

Hey @CornAndBerry!

Did you read the documentation for ProtonVPN?

Cheers!

Roger.

[CornAndBerry]

Yes, I'm using the OpenVPN / IKEv2 username en password.
Am I missing something else?

[rogs]

Are you using a free account? If you are, did you setup the correct env var?

[CornAndBerry]

Yes, I'm using a free account.
Yes, I'm using the right env var. I will share them asap.

Please, read the docs for Proton. Port forwarding might not work either!

[CornAndBerry]

Thanks for the information.

These are my env vars:

Portforwarding is not enabled.
It worked before, but somehow after the configuration with wiregurd I broke it. (and didn't made a snapshot )
Is there some other info I can share?

[rogs]

Not really... I don't know if wireguard works with free accounts to be honest, I've never tried it. Maybe that's the problem?

[fr33d8]

does torrenting allowed with free plan ? I seem to remember that this is not the case...

[rogs]

I'm not sure to be honest... You can check directly with them!
