Run the following docker run as a single line and change the settings to match your needs. Log into your NAS via SSH and elevate to rootĬreate openvpn folder inside the future /config location where you will copy your OVPN file of choice For this, I will use image.ĭownload the image from docker repository In these steps, I will explain a bit how to use qBittorrent client in a combination with a VPN provider of your choice. If you are looking for an occasional torrent download, then maybe a docker container will be far less resource demanding, not to mention that you will not need a VDSM license (unless you have the free license still open to use). Now, this is useful if you will be using that same instance for more than just torrenting.

I have written in the past how to utilize VPN on your NAS and one method of tunneling your torrent traffic via your NAS and a VPN connection is using a VDSM instance that will be protected with a VPN and in return, any other app running under that VDSM instance will be protected as well. Still, every now and then people tend to ask me how to set up docker containers, and most often is how to set up a torrent client with VPN protection. You can run it using the Portainer platform that can be configured following the article here. Those images are a combination of two containers (VPN and client) that run as a single stack. Because of that, I have added a few images on the bottom that runs fine in DSM 7 so consider running them. NOTE: With the new DSM 7 most containers that run in privileged mode will not work.
