Pomoc rTorrent and VPN

[AnGaeL]

Hi,

Used Deluge up until now, and has been giving me problems, so looking at rTorrent.
In Deluge you were able to specify VPN just for the application. Can you do this for rTorrent too?
I only see the guidance to setup VPN for the whole NAS, which I do not want, as I wish that other traffic will not go through VPN.

If it makes any difference, I'm using an OpenVPN service.

Firmware version: 4.3.6.0883
Model name: QNAP TS-453Be

Please configure VPN in QNAP (QVPN). Once is configured find VPN IP in interface list and select it.

Thanks. I just done that and setup the client vpn in QVPN, and connected.
Then went to rTorrent (after restart), but cannot find the address/vpn there in the bind IP sections. What am I missing?

May I check this putty and teamviewer?
Please reply on PM.

Hello! I am having a similar issue. Event though I select QVPN gateway in the bind IP list for Rtorrent Pro, when I go to GUI I still see the physical IP of my connection (which is the default gateway) instead of the VPN one.

okay but what ip is reported to tracker?

Apparently the VPN IP, you were right. I tested with a test-torrent. This is weird because rTorrent GUI still shows the external router IP instead of the VPN IP, but nevertheless I am thankful it works.
