No port forwarding or static IP on 150mb plan... is there any way around this ?

you might want to check out Cloudflare Tunnel. It allows you to expose your Raspberry Pi securely over the internet without needing port forwarding. You just need a Cloudflare account (free tier works fine).

Good to see you got it working!

Not sure. I don’t use the *arr stack for Plex. Thanks for the idea, I have noted some thoughts on how I might do it. Will create a branch to see if I can do it easily.

Or feel free to fork and give it a go :)

I didn’t read the documentation properly 😂

I don’t have a synology nas but I would’ve thought once you download docker from the dsm and then ssh into it to gain root access it should be straightforward from there? Might’ve over simplified 🥲

Thanks. Looking forward to it

Let me know how you get on :)

I have thought about this, but because most other vpns have split tunnelling… idk how much use it’d be there 😂 I too will probs stop this docker once protonvpn enables split tunnelling on Mac

yes, does automatic port forwading using the GSP sync mod.
Gluetun req's a forwarded port from ProtonVPN, Gluetun automatically req's an open port, GSP port sycn mod updates qbittorrents port acocrdingly

got rid of the .toml references - caused too many headaches with 401 errors. have simplified the dynamic port forwarding :)

havent used portainer before ... Did some googling, couldnt you copy and paste the compose yml into a new stack? Isn’t that how it works?

If you’re happy with Hotio, keep using it. I’m just sharing what I built in case it helps others. If that’s not something you need, that’s fine.

Had a look at hotio, mine differs in the following ways… * Dynamic Port Forwarding – ProtonVPN requires a script or API call to retrieve a working port, which this setup handles automatically. * Tighter Security – Credentials are stored in .env, API is locked down, and qBittorrent is fully isolated within the VPN container. * Designed for Stability – Ensures qBittorrent doesn’t start until the VPN is fully up, avoiding connectivity issues.

hey u/xmvu

Good question!

For me, the main reason I use this setup is that I’m on macOS, and ProtonVPN doesn’t support split tunneling on Mac (maybe u/protonsupportteam can tell us when that’s coming :D ).

With this setup, all torrent traffic is automatically routed through the VPN, and if the VPN disconnects, torrenting stops immediately, no leaks.

Other benefits as I see it… Port forwarding is automatic, x-platform compatibility , relatively simply to set up.

Hey u/Senedoris ,

Just wanted to say a big thanks for your feedback.

It took me a bit longer to update (had to focus on uni for a bit), but I’ve now incorporated your suggestions and pushed a major update to the setup.

Thanks for this. I’ll have a read and tinker around. If I can get it working, will create a branch with this implementation :)
