Set Connection>Listening Port to the port you set in Mullvad, by default the wireguard port is 51820 Once you get to the configuring Transmission section look here insteadģa. I didn't bother with any of the firewall ipfw stuff since you can specify all this in the qBittorrent UIģ. This is simply the non-kernal version of wireguard that runs as a serviceĢ. Wireguard refused to install for me, instead install: Some adjustments that need to be made from this guide are:ġ. However some adjustments need to be made for qBittorrent (I much prefer qBittorrent to Transmission) I don't have a 1000Mbps connection to test this on. The speeds top off at my ISP's limit (at around 50 Mbps). UPDATE: Using the WireGuard protocol for qBittorrent (instead of OpenVPN) works with Mullvad VPN. (I only have a 50Mbps ISP connection though.) They just randomly generate a unique string for you, which is what you use to authenticate.Īs for Wireguard, I haven't tested its speeds when used over Mullvad's servers. In fact, you don't even register anything with them. Or even pay with a prepaid giftcard (with or without 'guest' over Paypal.) Very anonymous. You can even send them an envelope with cash with the randomly generated seed written on a piece of paper. There's no subscription, no discounts, no sales, no promotions. They have an 'interesting' payment method. (No application restriction, and works with qBittorrent.) Mullvad VPN can be used like this, from what I understand. Has anyone had any luck using alternative protocols for shielding torrent traffic? Can you link me any helpful guides or give direction on possible solutions.Ĭyberghost does not allow for wireguard outside of their applications, what VPNs are capable of being used for a configuration like this. I don't know much about alternative protocols, but I would like to investigate using something like wireguard which is supposed to have better speeds than OpenVPN. Changing the port does not help these stalled torrents (or torrents at ~500bytes download) I am aware of the stalling issue that is fixed by changing the connection port on qBittorrent. Multiple clients has helped to increase the throughput, however I feel this solution is ineligant and a lot of torrents still fail to download through the VPN where they have no issues on a plain network.

I have a multiple qBittorrent plugins set up with seperate OpenVPN configurations as I have 1000Mbps internet and see at most around 70-80mbps download in each client.
