Sonarr/Radarr won't connect to Jackett/Deluge when using a VPN

[RBoots]

I've been using Binhex DelugeVPN with Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr and Jackett all routing their internet through the Deluge docker for a couple months. A couple weeks ago, it stopped working. Sonarr, Radarr and Lidarr are no longer connecting to Jackett or Deluge. I don't remember changing any settings or if there was an update recently, I just noticed one day that nothing was being added to Deluge. I tried a slightly different route by using an openvpn docker and routing everything through that instead, but still nothing. If I disable the vpn and set each docker network type to 'Bridge' everything seems to connect as they should. For obvious reasons, I don't want to do it this way. Could anyone help me out on what could be going on?

I currently have openvpn setup with a nordvpn account. I can check my public IP as well as ping google, so I would assume it has proper internet connection. Each docker container that is using openvpn is connected by setting the network type to 'None' with the argument --net=container:openvpn. Those also have the same public IP as well as internet access. But for some reason something seems to be blocking the connection to each other docker container. I don't even know if this is an issue with the docker containers or if I need to do something different on my network

I hope I did a good enough job explaining what my issue is, any help is appreciated.

Check the forum, binhex had to make a change to the deluge container  and you need to change your sonar/radar to local host. details are in the comments near the end

That wasn't related to the issue I had. I was actually planning on switching over to running everything through a dedicated vpn docker instead of using the deluge vpn. The issue I was having was specifically related to sonarr and radarr being unable to connect the indexers to jackett. However, I just solved it by changing the url I get from jackett torznab to be 'localhost' instead of using my actual IP address. Thanks for your help though. I think it did, in some way, point me in the right direction.

I had to add my Unraid server's IP in both Sonarr and Radarr under Settings > General > Proxy > "Addresses for the proxy to ignore

 

This is described in Q26 in the documentation here: https://github.com/binhex/documentation/blob/master/docker/faq/vpn.md

 

 

Hopefully this helps!

quite new to this but how are people now connecting radarr and sonarr together with a vpn container and running it all through that vpn? i've been trying a few things myself but doesnt seem to work? Im running delugevpn container atm linked with my nordvpn (Openvpn) account and it runs fine but it seems i need to link radarr and sonarr with it cause it wont pick it up otherwise.

Prowlarr url is invalid, Radarr cannot connect to Prowlarr

btw this also solved being unable to connect to deluge.

Can you share what the torznab feed should look like ? i cant find anything in the documentation that describes what this should look like.
