Qbit and Gluetun on Unraid

[Obrin24]

Hello all!

About two weeks ago, I managed to set up Radarr, Sonarr, Jellyseerr, and Prowlarr. Alongside that, I set up qBittorrent and Gluetun to handle downloading for my Jellyfin server.

However, after a day or two, it suddenly stopped working. I checked if my MullardVPN ran out of credits, and it is still full until next month.

• qBittorrent is still authenticating with an IP from my Gluetun VPN server.
• But all downloads error out within seconds, going from "downloading with some seeds and peers" to tracker errors such as:
  • "non-authoritative"
  • "timed out"

Nothing changed in my configuration, so I’m unsure what caused the break.
The only discrepancy I noticed in the Gluetun logs is this:

I’m unsure if I want to switch from using qBittorrent, but from everything I’ve read, it’s still the preferred client in most setups like this.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

I think you also need to forward port 6881 for tcp and udp.
