qbittorrent-nox = Firewalled / qbittorrent = Online
Hello sailors,
I wanted to try out Arr* and installed and configured everything for the first few days (Native, Arch). Just tinkering around.
Radarr and Sonarr used qbittorrent at first, but the permissions gave me trouble. I installed qbittorrent-nox and run it via systemd for a different user. This fixed my permission troubles.
However, even though both run with the same settings, nox is firewalled (DHT: 0 nodes, stuck on getting the metadata) while the regular version shows online and downloads with good speeds.
I use MullvadVPN (doesn't offer Port Forwarding anymore). I opened a port in my router.
I'm pretty new to this. Does anyone have any idea what could be the problem? Do I have to add something to the systemd service?
Any hints wouldbe appreciated! Thanks for reading!
systemd service:

Doesn't opening a port on your router defeat the purpose of the VPN?
Yeah, I was getting desperate 😆
If qBittorrent/qb-nox is bound to your VPN interface, then 1) your VPN needs to support port forwarding, and 2) forwarding a port on your router is pointless and unnecessary. Your only way around it is to switch VPN or don't use VPN and then port forward.
I'm looking into Proton, Windscribe and AirVPN atm. Travelling the high seas is my main reason for a VPN. In the past I didn't use it enough to switch from Mullvad, which I liked except for their port forwarding switch.
Thanks for the hint.
Use DDNS for WebUI. Disable Port-Forwarding on Router Enable Encryption in qBittorent
If I think of anything else I shall update
Are they attempting to listen on the same port, so one of them is failing to? Try setting a different port number for the two
Are you split tunneling?
