  1. Can you guys help me figure out what's going on here?  I'm missing some sort of understand of how things are working.  Here's the issue:

    Every once in a while it seems like my VPN provider (Torguard) either closes or drops my port, leaving me not connectable.  I'm using a wireguard connection with the container.  Here are some of my settings:

    You can see here I'm connectable and everything seems to be fine.  And it is for now.  But the settings and configs are just not adding up to me.

     

    Here is the wg0.conf file I created with the config generator on Torguard:

     

    wg0.conf

     

    And here are my configured ports on Torguard:

    Now these ports aren't even assigned to the server in the wg0.conf file.  I went back to a generic regional (Toronto) server just trying things out to see if I could get something working.  I had originally created the wg0.conf file to match the specific IP that I created the ports on, but it wouldn't connect.

     

    Can someone help me make sense of this?  It's baffling to me.  Thanks!

    I get many "Request to rTorrent has timed out" errors as well, but at least now that I'm on Toronto PIA nothing seems to actually crash..... I haven't been able to figure out whether I should worry about these errors or not. I'm running around 700 torrents currently and it seems to be OK. Would love to know how to tune to max number of torrents and eliminate errors.

    From my understanding, rTorrent itself isn't actually crashing and is running fine behind the scenes.  ruTorrent is the part having issues.  But when you can't see rTorrent, it's a problem.  (I know you can use the actual rTorrent to see things, but ruTorrent is 1000x easier.)

  3. I'm getting a lot of rutorrent timeout errors and login issues with my image.  I have about 1100 torrents running currently.  I know stability is an issue with rutorrent historically.  I've even read and attempted some of the fixes on the tuning website:  Performance Tuning

     

    I've not been able to find anything that really solves this problem yet.  I saw one person recommend the arch-rtorrentvpn image as being more stable.  Debating about giving that a go.

     

    Are there any things you guys or anyone has been able to do to manage a high torrent load and still have rutorrent be functional?  I'd like to go even high in torrent count, but until it's stable I know it will be an issue.  Thanks!

    Have you tried changing the resolution in your remote viewing application?

    I don't see that option other than QXL under the VNC display box.  My 2630's have no onboard video at all so it's just the VNC option.

  5. So I'm tired of trying to use VM's that are scaled awfully and look terrible when I remote in to them.  Would it make sense to get a cheap GPU just to be able to better see the VM when I'm using it?  Thanks!

    not related to tracker issues, airvpn udp or tcp is only the initial connection to the server, once the vpn tunnel is established then all protocols should be permitted. most likely the issue is related to the tracker banning vpn provider known ip ranges (due to abuse).

    Ah, good to know. Thanks again!

  7. I'm not sure if it's airvpn related or not.  I ended up starting from scratch again last night, as the ratiocolor plugin messes the whole docker up.

     

    All I did was use the udp server from airvpn.  I turned off autodl and turned on privoxy and the VPN.  I put my login information for airvpn's website in the vpn fields.  It is working for whatever reason.

  8. Well, of all the damnedest things in the world, it decided to just start working.  Only issue I'm having now is that the UDP trackers error out.  That may be a AirVPN issue, as I don't see an option to tell it to let me use both UDP and TCP ports.  Looks like you have to pick one or the other. But what's strange is that the OVPN file I used is a UDP port.  And the port I have forwarded, which shows as open on their website, is both TCP and UDP.  But hey, at least we're working now!

    Now if I can just figure out the ratiocolor plugin.

    have you got any of the following:-

    1. vlans - if so check config

    2. pfsense or other firewall - check its not blocking network connectivity

    3. ad blocker - disable on browser

     

    things to try:-

    1. try another browser

    2. try another host to connect to the web ui

     

    of note this image does not work with macvlan network configuration, if its set to this then please set back to 'bridge'.

    No VLANS.

     

    I do have pfsense.  It works and shows the port as correctly forwarded without the VPN.  Could this still be an issues?

     

    I'll double check on the adblocker but it should be off on unraid pages.

     

    The macvlan thing, is that what I set it to to have a reverse proxy?  I use nginxproxymanager for this.  I also have a wireguard connection for remote access.  I wondered if that might not be causing issues. 

     

    It was all working a while back with all of these things being the same, so I'm just not sure what changed.

    thats a succesful start, im assuming you cannot access the web ui with the vpn enabled, correct?.

     

    if so can you post the ip address of the machine you are using the web browser on in order to attempt access to rutorrent web ui?.

    The internal IP or my actual ISP IP?

    a known issue with the latest version of php and autodl-irssi, turn it off for now to get a clean log.

    https://github.com/binhex/arch-rtorrentvpn/issues/137

     

    so the pastebin you have posted a link to shows the log for the vpn turned off and i can see rtorrent now starts, so you can now see the web ui yes?.

    I can!

     

     

    Incidentally, the port check plugin is still erroring out though.

    So I deleted it and started it over with the VPN off and it loaded fine.  I turned AirVPN back on and it's the same result, rTorrent won't start.  I'll do it again and post a log when I get home.

    Here's the pastebin:

     

     

     

    I had to turn privoxy off as well to get it to load up.  And it still threw these errors over autodl for some reason.  I deleted the config file, deleted the opvn files, and turned off the vpn completely.

    i would suspect a badly configured rtorrent.rc file, stop the container and delete the file /config/rtorrent/config/rtorrent.rc then restart the container so it can auto re-create the file, if no go then paste another log.

  14. I can't for the life of me figure out this AirVPN setup.  I've tried every combination I can think of.  I was hoping to switch to them from Mullvad, but it doesn't seem to be any easier to troubleshoot.  I'm sure the problem is on my end and something I'm doing.

     

    Here's my supervisor log if someone can take a look, thanks!

    then im sorry i got no further suggestions at present, all i can say is the image is def not broken and works fine (tested locally by changing password), so not sure whats going on with your setup :-(.

     

    edit - one last thing to check, try accessing the web ui from another pc or browser (preferably pc).

    Figure it out, it was the cache.  So simple, yet overlooked.  Thanks for the help!

    im assuming you have blanked out the username and password  and its not an empty string, right?:-

    
    2020-05-20 08:11:55.721158 [info] WEBUI_USER defined as ''
    2020-05-20 08:11:55.758365 [info] WEBUI_PASS defined as ''

    can you ensure the username and password is constructed from a-z 0-9, so no special characters, also when entering the username and password in the unraid webui for the container do NOT copy and paste, type it in manually, i have seen the web ui do some funky shit when pasting in.

    Yes. I blanked them out before posting.  The values are there in the docker.  No special characters, only one upper case letter.  I did type them all in.

    so the web ui is visible but you cant authenticate?, if so see here:-

    https://forums.unraid.net/topic/46127-support-binhex-rtorrentvpn/?do=findComment&comment=454306

     

    I have both the web and rcp user and pass in the docker defined and neither will let me log in.  It's really weird.  Read somewhere that I  might need to deleted the lock file?  Was going to try that out later.  I can't find any answer on it it seems.

    So I created an entirely new rTorrent docker and re-did it all from the ground up.  Even after doing that fresh, the webgui is still broke and won't let me log in.  Anyone got any ideas?

    To add to this, somehow my nzb360 android app is able to connect to rutorrent over my reverse proxy with no issues, yet I still can't log in to the gui.  Anyone else having the same issue?
