I currenly reside in a country with strict piracy rules but also have access to the internet in a country where piracy is not enforced. I want to setup a VPN and route qBittorrent’s traffic through it. The idea is to do something like this:

I am fresh to selfhosting and most of the time have no clue how to achieve what I want. So far I have tried Tailscale but I think it won’t work how I want it to. If it helps, I have domain name registered. Can anybody point me to the right direction?

Update (if anyone is seeking answers):

I went with tailscale which I have already set up before on the rpi3. Somehow, no matter what I try, wireguard or pivpn would not work. Maybe I have hands growing out of my ass or something, no idea.

What did work is Dante. I setup socks5 on pi through tailscale0 and it worked wonders. Qbittorent did connect and detected IP of rpi3. The best part is that opposed to wireguard, dedicated port does not have to be open in order for Dante to work. I see it as a win win! Now I’m hyped to go back to my homeland and install pi there.

    run installer curl -L https://install.pivpn.io/ | bash

    • configure wireguard
    • setup non root user
    • Set a port

    Create a user with pivpn add

    Example:

    root@funhaus:~# pivpn add
Enter a Name for the Client: user.name

    The conf file can also be found in /home/user.name/configs

    Copy the conf to your machine. Install WireGuard and use that conf.

    In qbitorrent you should make sure the application is set to use the VPN network, otherwise it’ll use both. Go to Settings > Advanced > Set Wireguard from “Network Interface”
