Hello,
My goal is to have ONLY qBittorent traffic directed through a VPN using RT-AX88U Pro.
All the pieces seem to be in place but none of the torrent traffic is going to the VPN.
Here's the set it up:
qBittorent bound to OpenVPN Client on PC <-> OpenVPN Server on Router <-> VPN Director <-> Wireguard client on Router <-> VPN provider
qBittorent is bound to the OpenVPN client interface connecting to an OpenVPN server on the router.
The VPN provider connection is done with Wireguard client on the router.
The VPN Director directs the traffic from the OpenVPN client
NOTE: The only reason I am using a combination of OpenVPN and Wireguard is that it seemed more obvious how to OpenVPN server than the Wireguard server and more obvious how to set up the Wireguard client than the OpenVPN client. I can switch to using either OpenVPN or Wireguard for everything.
This is the config that the router generates for the OpenVPN client that qBittorent binds to on the PC:
This seems like it ought to work but the torrent traffic doesn't go to the VPN. Also, 76.169.XXX.XXX is my WAN IP from my ISP. It is not a static IP so it seems like it shouldn't really be in here but that's how it was when the router exported the config file.
I greatly appreciate if you can share how to get it working.
