for anyone possibly using the binhex-qbittorrentvpn Container- I got it all up and running with Sonarr/Radarr, everything is downloading smoothly. BUT I want to check if data is being routed via my VPN (PIA) after following some installation steps.
Anyone know how to check this?
My previous setup was a Windows server, so I just used the PIA App and bypassed VPN traffic for everything other than Qbittorrent.
Any and all help would be appreciated.
Click on the container > console.
run:
curl ifconfig.io
This should give you whatever the IP of your VPN has provided as output, not your actual IP. If it outputs your actual IP, the container’s VPN isn’t working correctly.
ipleak.net has a torrent check service. Add the magnet link and check the IP reported back on the web page.
Iknowwhatyoudownload will show what torrents you downloaded if they can detect it. If you log in to a VPN and check the site you will see thousands of downloads. Check your real ip and you should see nothing hopefully. Not perfect but interesting to see what has been downloaded on your ip.
You could use this to check it:

It’s essentially a torrent that doesn’t download anything, just reports the IP in use and it’s a tokenized torrent so you can see the web-statistic even though the torrent’s active on the unraid server. This is what I test deluge with.
I use a Firefox docker (ich777) and route that through the qbitvpn docker via proxy in part so I can hit all the leak check sites everyone is recommending.
Also:
curl ipinfo.io
This no detect leak when there are two connections. QBT leeeeeks! @OP check log files.
Thank you all for these. I’m using Portainer, and bringing up a console through the GUI is trivial, and these work extremely well. Thanks!
This is my recommendation as well.
This is what I use as well
My personal favorite:
curl wtfismyip.com/json
