Maybe one day ProtonVPN will fix their port-forwarding for their configuration files, I haven’t seen anyone else complain about this and their support is oblivious that this function even exists.
For people wondering the Learn More link just tells you what port forwarding does.
Radarr (Movies) / Sonarr (Shows/Series) - You search for a movie/show, you hit the “I want that” button, it does the searching through Torrents or Usenet, once it find a match it send a signal to your download client to begin downloading, once done Radarr/Sonarr will take that file and neatly manage it for your media viewer (Jellyfin) essentially automating the entire process.
There is quite a bit of configuration needed for things start to flow smoothly but relatively straight forward.
So if I’m not mistaken the route I took was to import my Spotify library to Lidarr > Let it freely torrent/download in the background (this can take a long time especially if what you’re torrenting isn’t very popular!) > setup the Spotify Import plugin for Jellyfin and let that automatically make your playlist an such however, in my experience this worked well for maybe 40% of my playlists (roughly 800 rap songs + 200 rock/metal) and the rest I downloaded with ytdlp and manually added in to my library, which sucked because it was so tedious but once I got it done I never had to do it again.
I got about 15k songs in my library all together but only listen to my playlists.
Firm believer in Legitflix.
i know about that. i also know its quite overblown. their EULA is no different than all of them.
That’s quite an ignorant statement to make, just because you don’t care about what you sign up for doesn’t mean other’s don’t as well.
but no malware has been installed.
a root kit is quite literally a type of malware, you agreed to malware being installed to your machine at any point in time and if not when it does bite you in the ass you can’t sue for damages.
With your current mindset you might as well be on Reddit like all the other sheeple.
Carney or Zuckerberg?
VPN to a nice safe country like Switzerland.
Look into selfhosting the Servarr stack along side QBitTorrent, pick a media player such as Plex or Jellyfin. Easy free streaming.

I didn’t even think of this! I’ll give it a try, thank you!
Just out of curiosity, why bother running 4 instances of qBit for the various *arrs? Why not just use automatic torrent management, and have the different categories download to different folders? My *arrs are all using a single instance of qBit, and each service simply uses a different category with a different download path.
I started to become frustrated with the queue on a single qbit instance, I would set the max total of active torrents to 15; 10 active downloads and 5 seeding and it starts out fine but eventually those 10 active downloads all became stalled.
The amount of times I have had to open qbit to just move stuff down the queue so other things could download was obnoxious so I made 3 other instances for each *arr and it’s felt easier to manage.
Proton VPN claims to offer Port-Forwarding for their Wireguard router configs however, when I attempt to do it they don’t display the active port anywhere on their website.
Asus WRT Routers are great however, it doesn’t support certain Registrars for DDNS like Cloudflare so I had to install Merlin Firmware, ssh into the router and then manually configure a cron-job so that my A records stay up to date with my WAN.

Thankfully somebody already been down this path a posted the documentation which made things 100x easier.

Kind of a crude & simplified way of putting my setup but I think it gets the point across.
Just trying to see my phone bill man, I know I trusted those for some good reason.
It actually pairs quite nicely with uBlock.
another option is to have a browser that’s used for these activities only.
Doesn’t help that my PiHole is also blocking these at a DNS level as well my network is all routed behind VPN tunnels.
Pretty much all telecom companies around me do this.
thank you for your service!
All about that FOSS!
Problem is now, I can’t login to see my phone bill. Horrid design.
Pretty sure IR lasers fry cameras - set one up in the robots path
I bought an 13th Gen Asus Nuc with an i7 running Debian headless and a hard-disk bay for my setup, previously all I was using was a Rasp Pi 4, I honestly don’t know if my Jellyfin instance is utilizing the CPU’s iGPU not really sure how to tell.
Running lspci in the shell does return

Been using Jellyfin along side the ‘ARR suite for about a year now, my biggest issue is with Subtitles.
On the IOS/iPadOS apps of Jellyfin subtitles seem to prevent media from streaming, tried utilizing Bazaar but have had no luck.
I mean I’ll give it a try, their support flat out said they don’t support port forwarding for WireGuard configs which is why I never used the feature, but if it’s truly using UPnP than it may be worth a shot!
Edit: https://protonvpn.com/support/port-forwarding-manual-setup#wireguard looks promising!
