Hi,
I'm reading a lot of post, but sorry I can't find the correct answer...
I'm having an issue with rtorrent and the VPN. After reading conflicting information and trying multiple configurations, I've gotten a bit lost. I have a VPN provider: ProtonVPN, which allows me to do port forwarding. It seems that I can't manually set the open port on the ProtonVPN side. What I understood is that rtorrent can handle the open port configuration automatically through the automatic port forwarding feature. Sometimes I read that I should enable UPnP and NAT-PMP, then sometimes not. Another thing, what do we set on the rtorrent client side? In the connection section: do we check to open the listening port? What port do we use? 12000-12000? Do we check random port selection? Does anyone have the complete setup for using rtorrent behind a VPN?
Thanks in advance for your responses.
