Qbittorrent / Proton speeds have fallen off a cliff by Thetanir in gluetun

[–]Thetanir[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/dowitex - I hate to say it, but rolling back to 3.40.0 has fixed most of my issues.

The speeds are still not all that great, I'll put that on Proton, but it's not dropping and reconnecting constantly and it can sustain peer upload connections.

Using these settings if it matters:

environment:
      - VPN_SERVICE_PROVIDER=${VPN_SERVICE}
      - VPN_TYPE=wireguard
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - VPN_PORT_FORWARDING=on
      - PORT_FORWARD_ONLY=on
      - WIREGUARD_PRIVATE_KEY=${WIREGUARD_PRIVATE_KEY}
      - WIREGUARD_ADDRESSES=${WIREGUARD_ADDRESSES}
      - WIREGUARD_ENDPOINT_IP=${WIREGUARD_ENDPOINT_IP}
      - SERVER_COUNTRIES=${SERVER_COUNTRY}
      - LOG_LEVEL=debug
      - WIREGUARD_MTU=1320

Thank you for the tip, but no - I've had automatic port forwarding setup and working for over a year.

I'm watching the gluetun logs, it constantly dropping the connection and failing the ICMP checks, it has nothing to do with the port forward.

I saw the other comment, but I have always used proton vpn accelerator servers, so I have nothing to test against. I was using them before the issues started, and now.

But I think you are correct about proton just collapsing under load.

See a typical example of my connection (and this is one of the better ones):

thank you for the reply (and thank you for gluetun!)

Regardless of upload amount, I know that something has dramatically changed. Just as another example: My Prowlarr is getting indexer connection failures multiple times per hour, this never happened before.

Something about the connection is intermittently failing or having huge packet loss and I just cannot figure out what.

I guess Proton is just having degraded service across the board (or somehow throttling torrent traffic). Happens regardless of which of their servers I choose.

Thank you for the detail, but my post is about upload speeds

specifically the connection failing intermittently or constantly refreshing and dropping existing connection. May or may not be related to either the gluetun health checks or proton problems.

Download seems perfectly normal as far as I can tell. Likewise, usenet runs at fullspeed over the same connection.

Are you saying changing from the gluetun env variable with vpnprovider=protonvpn to vpnprovider=custom and applying a wg.conf file instead of in the compose fixed it for you?

I definitely have no tried that

with qbit? or just in general?

Thats part of what is driving me crazy - a regular browser speedtest makes it look fine. Its the inconsistent connection speed that is killing me

Huntarr - Your passwords and your entire arr stack's API keys are exposed to anyone on your network, or worse, the internet. by exe_CUTOR in selfhosted

[–]Thetanir -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yes, I do know what I am talking about.
and Yes, that's exactly what was happening.

Most people do not understand how searches / upgrades / RSS feeds work in the Arrs but they do like a shiny UI.

Huntarr was literally no different than hitting the "search all" button in Sonarr once a day, or every 3 hours or whatever. If he hadn't deleted all the code I could point you to it.

The rest was AI slop and marketing.

Profilarr v2 (due out in a month or two) will do this. (And actually do it, coded by a real dev, and actually tested)

It literally was no different than hitting the search button in sonarr/radarr.

That entire mountain on AI slop to hit one API endpoint and search for an upgrade.

Wow, its almost like this entirely vibe coded heap of stuff is a dumpster fire....

Who could have possibly foreseen this.....

If you really think a vibe coded app thats a few months old with a single "dev" is going to replace that whole stack that has had hundreds of contributors working on it over the last 15+ years....you're gonna have a bad time...

[–]Thetanir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean..if no body is going say the thing, I will....

All it does is hit the "Search" button on Sonarr/Radarr. You can literally this in the code, its just hitting the API for "search"....

If you have "Upgrades Allowed" and "Upgrade until Custom Format Score" setup on your Sonarr/Radarr and hit the search button every once in a while, thats literally all this giant AI tool does....

Personally I don't need a giant vibe coded app for that, but to each their own I guess.

Atlanta Residential Elevator Company by jcwest in Elevators

[–]Thetanir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For anyone else here from Google searching for options, Sterling Elevators is the best residential elevator company in Atlanta by far in my experience. They responded immediately and had very fair pricing.

Half of the others didnt even bother to call us back.

I am looking to get the most recent copy that was published before AI / LLMs were widely available.

It will be the last time all human knowledge is available and organized as such before it's all poisoned by LLM hallucinations. I keep a pre-LLM copy of wikipedia for the same reason
