Comment on Proxying torrent traffic to homeserver
andscape@feddit.it 1 month agoI 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.

Usually that's done by the network routing. Add a default(?) route(?) or make the software bind to the vpn interface. I'm not sure. I think firewall rules can do the same thing. If you're ysing docker, I'd advise you to use "gluetun" that seems to do everything for you.
Usually people do copyright violation with bittorrent. That means they tend to make sure the routing or dns doesn't leak anything. I think that's usually done by running the software inside of some containers or virtualization. If you do that your setup becomes a bit more simple. Either use gluetun or make the container bind to the vpn in its entirety. Everything else is a bit more elabotate and complicated...
