I indeed have a domain name pointing to the VPS IP, with Caddy managing TLS. Other apps are exposed this way, and I will do the same for the qBittorrent WebUI as well. I like having Caddy as a single gateway where I can apply security configs and monitor all traffic, I was hoping I would be able to pass torrent traffic through it as well but everybody seems very much against it.
I already have wireguard setup as you describe so I guess I’ll just give up on passing torrent traffic through the proxies and just open a localhost port on the qBittorrent container…
Resetting the “time since last being told I don’t know shit on the internet” back to 0 once again…
I already have an existing and working setup used for other apps, it’s close to the one described in this blogpost. Yes, it’s complicated and inefficient, but it has reasons to be. I want to keep my qBittorrent configuration as close to this setup as reasonably possible for consistency. If your point is that it’s counterproductive to follow this setup then… fair enough. I can just route traffic from the VPS to an exposed port on the local qBittorrent container over Wireguard, but that wasn’t my preferred solution.
Running a torrent client through a proxy doesn’t isolated a process.
I was talking about network isolation, not process isolation.
make sure your traffic is routing there properly
That was pretty much what I was asking for help with.
I have already set up all of that. My setup is similar to the one in this blogpost and it’s already working for various apps that only use HTTP. What I’m trying to do is to also route BitTorrent traffic (TCP/UDP) over the same setup without opening up entirely new paths.
I’m guessing what you mean is setting up port forwarding in Wireguard…
The thing is ideally I would want all connections in and out of my homeserver’s Docker network to go through the local Caddy proxy, so the app containers are isolated. That still means having at least the local Caddy acting as a TCP proxy, even if the VPS Caddy is bypassed. If that’s too much of a hassle though I can instead just expose a port on the qBittorrent container directly to the homeserver’s localhost, and forward that with wireguard to the VPS.
By “set up wireguard to route through the VPS” you mean having wireguard forward a port from the VPS to a port on the homeserver at its wireguard IP address?
qBittorrent will still need to publish the right IP address to peers though, right? So I will need to configure the proxy VPS’s IP address in qBittorrent…
Also that means binding a port on the qBittorrent container directly to the homeserver localhost. I’ve managed to keep the app containers isolated so far and it’d be nice to keep that, but if proxying the traffic is too annoying I guess I can just say fuck it and go with it.
Slamming the “cute” button
Wild ass comment.
Unless you really really need portability between devices
Who doesn’t??? What do you do, copy 20-char randomly generated passwords manually all the time? That’s the whole point of password managers…
I use firefox’s local, inbuilt manager
Browsers are NOT a secure storage for sensitive data, if you want a local password manager at least please use KeePassXC.
The thing that pisses me off the most is that they are disingenuous almost to the point of lying in interpreting that survey’s results. They say that 75% of users are interested in GenAI, when actually what they asked is whether people have used any GenAI at all in the recent past. And that still doesn’t mean they want GenAI in Proton. That’s a pretty significant sleight of hand. The more relevant question would have been the first one on what service people want the most. In that case only 29% asked for a writing assistant, which is still not the same thing as a full LLM. The most likely answer to “how many Proton customers want an LLM in Proton Mail” seems to be “few”.
This is old drama at this point. I’ll repeat what’s been said the previous times this was posted.
Proton did what they were legally required to do in the jurisdiction where they operate as a legitimate business. As an encrypted email provider they offer privacy but not necessarily anonymity, and they’re open about that. They even have multiple blogposts about how to use their service more anonymously. If you thought that by using ProtonMail you were getting full anonymity that’s your mistake.
In both the cases mentioned the users made OpSec mistakes: not using a VPN in one and linking their personal Apple email as a recovery email in the other. In the first case Proton wasn’t even logging the user’s IP until the police forced them to.
