I have recently been having a lot of issues maintaining a connection with my proton vpn in gluetun. it keeps dropping and reconnecting due to failing periodic small health check. My internet connection is solid without connection issues, running a symmetrical 1gbit and the router (gl.inet brume 2) doesn’t register any dropouts in connection.
i have tried following the suggested troubleshooting in the docs, updating the vpn server list etc., but none of the suggestions seem to fix this issue. it has been going on for several months now. if i use mullvad it works perfectly without connection issues, but this is destroying my seed ratio due to no port forwarding.
I don’t use proton so can’t validate but two things stand out to me:
Good luck!
You can configure gluetun to automatically update qbittorrent with whatever port gets assigned.
Yeah but that doesn’t solve OPs problem re/ proton - what I meant was that perhaps there is no Netherlands server that provides their random port forwarding or it gets a hickup with it.
If you refer to me not using proton:
The port forwarding is not the main reason (that’s their C level weirding me out) - and for the port forwarding specifically: It’s not (only/mainly) qbittorrent I want port forwarding for :)
They show several NL servers with port forwarding, but i have also tried other locations with the exact same issues.
Wireguard poses the same problem, it also keeps dropping connection.
Disabling port forwarding doesn’t seem to make a difference for either openvpn or WG.
Ah, that’s fair.
