I used this site: https://www.portcheckers.com/ with the IP that my tracker reports that I'm using (the one that, from my understanding, is the VPN one as it differs from the one that's reported for my desktop) and the port I have forwarded at my VPN provider as well as set as the incoming port in the Deluge settings. When doing this, the site reports the port as open, does this mean that my slow down- and upload speeds are caused by something other than port forwarding?

According to the documentation of my VPN provider, all their servers offer port forwarding so this should not be an issue. This site describes how to use it: https://vnm.windscribe.net/support/article/37/what-is-ephemeral-port-forwarding-and-how-to-use-it As I have mentioned, it seems the thing I'm missing is the correct internal port that deluge is using.

1. The way it works with my VPN provider is that I have to select which port to forward. I enter the what they call the "internal port" to forward and that gets mapped to an external port, either the same number port that I select or a random based on my choosing. My problem is that I don't know what my internal port is supposed to be in this scenario. I tried setting one in Preferences -> Network -> Incoming Port and then forwarding that port at my VPN provider but it did not lead to any speed increase. From the opening posts by binhex in this thread, it seems that port forwarding is essential to reach your maximum speed potential, unfortunately I don't yet know the right ones to choose. 2. This I was able to fix. I entered the path "/data" as my desired download location and now new downloads show up there. I was able to move my completed torrents by selecting the "move download folder" option from within Deluge. I still don't know where from it moved the downloads but they did get moved into the desired folder so I guess it ultimately matters little.

Having done some more testing, I have run into two new issues. 1. My speeds are quite slow, around 2.5 MiBs per second at most, I understand that I might need to forward a port at my VPN provider to improve speeds, however, I don't know where to find which port I need to forward. I have tried going into Preferences -> Network -> Incoming Port and specifying a port there (the default was 0) and then forwarded the port at my VPN provider, this did not lead to a speed increase tho. 2. I don't know where my completed downloads are. In the deluge settings there is the default download path of "/home/nobody/Downloads" but in the File Manager of my NAS, I can't find such a path. The file structure of my NAS looks like this: DS918plus -docker -downloads --complete ---torrents -other And I have configured the following mounts in the docker container: Folder - Mount downloads/complete/torrents - /data docker/deluge - /config I would like to move the already completed downloads in the downloads/complete/torrents folder but can't find them. I would also like to set the same folder as the default for future downloads but don't know what I need to enter in deluge in order to achieve that. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Happy to report that the routing through the VPN works correctly, as the IP check does not show my real IP address. My VPN provider unfortunately doesn't offer DNS servers, meaning I'll have to make do with public ones. I already have a lifetime license so switching providers would not be a financially prudent move, I just hope the VPN itself will offer enough of added privacy/security.

Changing the DNS server allowed me to finally connect to the deluge webui and now I am able to download. Your help has been essential in getting this up and running, thank you very much. Is there an easy check I can make to be sure the torrent traffic is going through the VPN correctly and I've also not accidentally made my network more vulnerable to intrusions?

Thank you for swift reply. I have set the entry NAME_SERVERS as 192.168.1.1 since that's what my DNS Server is according to "ipconfig /all".

Thank you very much for the tip Lipora, I did as you suggested and the error message about the TUN/TAP not being found has disappeared from my logfile! However, I have encountered a new error which reads as follows: 2019-08-30 14:34:44,545 DEBG 'start-script' stdout output: [info] Application does not require port forwarding or VPN provider is != pia, skipping incoming port assignment 2019-08-30 14:34:44,545 DEBG 'start-script' stdout output: [info] Checking we can resolve name 'www.google.com' to address... 2019-08-30 14:34:44,554 DEBG 'start-script' stdout output: [debug] Having issues resolving name 'www.google.com', sleeping before retry... From this I understand there to be a connection issue, could this be tied to the DNS Server I have configured? My DNS servers are set up in my router to be automatically assigned by my ISP. I have gone into CMD and entered "ipconfig /all", there it told me the DNS server was 192.168.1.1 which is what I have entered into the configuration of the delugevpn docker container. Is this incorrect? I don't need to access deluge or indeed any of my NAS from outside my home network, I only want to be able for the NAS to download and seed torrents after I add them at home.

I am humbly seeking assistance in setting up the DelugeVPN docker container on a Synology DS918+ NAS system. I have followed the guide from here as best I could: http://tomthegreat.com/2018/03/11/setting-up-deluge-with-vpn-on-synology-using-docker/ Unfortunately, I am unable to access the Deluge setup wizard after going through the process (Step 12). Looking at the supervisord.log file, it seems the problem is related to this: DEBG 'start-script' stdout output: ERROR: Cannot open TUN/TAP dev /dev/net/tun: No such device (errno=19) Exiting due to fatal error I have attached the logfile in it's entirety in the hopes of finding help in this matter. My computer skills are limited and thus I don't see a of way fixing this on my own. Thank you for your consideration. supervisord_namesremoved.log
