  • Gluetun: The Little VPN Client That Could

    Jump

  • gluetun bundles a control server on port 8000 which you can query for the port number (don't worry about openvpn being in the url path, it still works with Wireguard). In my bash script (running on the host system), I use curl to retrieve the forwarded port number and then do a POST with that data to the API of my qbt client which is running in another container on port 8080.

  • There’s a reason why most providers don’t allow that feature anymore

    Yes, cheese pizza

    It’s said that port forwarding is a security risk

    Says who? Assuming a fully patched system/client and a properly configured firewall/network, I'd love to hear more about these "risks".

    Also, qBitTorrent works just fine without it.

    Only if you don't care about seeding

  • Based. I use gluetun with qbt and ProtonVPN (with port forwarding). Despite this being a tricky config, it was still pretty easy to setup. Can share bash scripts if anyone is interested.

  • Looking for ngrok alternative

  • I’m personally a big fan of bore. It’s easy to setup/use and there’s a free public instance operated by the developer.

  • backdoor in upstream xz/liblzma leading to ssh server compromise

  • I'm uncomfortable with this

  • Just updated to the latest iOS (17.4.1) and it (un)fortunately does not work 🥲

  • Did you ever think that maybe all VPN services are actually secretly owned/funded by governments and that they are only giving you a false illusion of privacy?

  • 100% this. OP is describing a great plot for an B-tier Hollywood movie, but reality tends to be much less thrilling. Obligatory xkcd.

  • Mullvad has Deb and RPM repositories now!

  • This. I switched over to protonvpn, but I’d switch back in a heartbeat if Mullvad re-enables port forwarding.
