Route torrenting traffic through a VPN

Apps and Virtualization
1

Howdy,
I installed the default TrueNAS Deluge app on my TrueNAS machine. Im trying to find the optimal way to route deluge traffic through a VPN. Would anyone have any guidance on how best to achieve that?

If you are running jailmaker with docker… you can have a solution right now…

If you are waiting for native docker, you will need to wait for electric eel

Here is the docker compose solution using gluetun to connect your vpn… all lines starting with # you would need to fill out.

You could just as easily use deluge in place of my qbit example
https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/deluge
just make sure to get its compose right…

The idea is simple gluetun connects to our VPN provider port 8085 is the web management port to get into the torrent app… the torrent app only has network access through gluetun which only allows access if its VPN is UP… You could also just build this stack out with addition apps you want behind the VPN

***Remember Docker is the future Truenas Scale

Docker Compose

services:
  gluetun:
    container_name: qbit-gluetun
    image: qmcgaw/gluetun:v3.38.0
    user: 0:568
    ports:
      - 6881:6881 # Torrent
      - 6881:6881/udp # Torrent
      - 8085:8085 #path to qbit
    cap_add:
      - NET_ADMIN
    devices:
      - /dev/net/tun:/dev/net/tun
    restart: unless-stopped
    environment:
      - PUID=568
      - #VPN_SERVICE_PROVIDER=Enter Provider name
      - #VPN_TYPE=wireguard
      - #WIREGUARD_PRIVATE_KEY=Enter Key

      - FIREWALL_OUTBOUND_SUBNETS=10.0.0.0/8,172.16.0.0/12,192.168.0.0/16
    volumes:
      #- /mnt/pathonhostforgluetunstorage:/gluetun
  qbittorrent:
    container_name: qbittorrent #temporary passowrd in container logs
    image: ghcr.io/linuxserver/qbittorrent:libtorrentv1-release-4.6.5_v1.2.19-ls31
    restart: unless-stopped
    environment:
      - #PUID=Enter PUID
      - #PGID=Enter GUID
      - #TZ=Enter Timezone
      - WEBUI_PORT=8085
    network_mode: service:gluetun
    depends_on:
      - gluetun

While not yet possible with the official TrueNAS chart apps, you could also try the binhex docker images with embedded VPN support. (i.e. for Deluge: https://hub.docker.com/r/binhex/arch-delugevpn/)

Otherwise, I just created a feature request, so that this might get a native integration to the official charts.
