Windscribe static + Gluetun + qBt – sticks to firewalled status

Hi,

Since I switched from Proton to Windscribe, including a static IP for port forwarding, I can't get my qBT to turn green; it sticks to the orange “firewalled” status.

It does work, it connects, it doesnt leak; but the reason I moved away from Proton was the random port following a reconnect. So far: mission failed.

I created a configuration on Windscribe's website like this:

[Interface]

PrivateKey = PrivKey\*

Address = 100.x.x.x/32

DNS = 10.255.255.4

[Peer]

PublicKey = PubKey\*

AllowedIPs = 0.0.0.0/0

Endpoint = my.personal.end.point:65142

PresharedKey = PreKey\*

Here are my compose files. Since I changed VPN provider, the Wireguard data changed and I added the port. All the other stuff is from the previously working configurations.

services:
gluetun:
image: qmcgaw/gluetun:latest
container_name: gluetun
restart: unless-stopped
cap_add:
– NET_ADMIN
devices:
– /dev/net/tun:/dev/net/tun
environment:
– PUID=0
– PGID=0
– TZ=Europe/Amsterdam
– VPN_SERVICE_PROVIDER=custom
– VPN_TYPE=wireguard
– WIREGUARD_PRIVATE_KEY=PrivKey*
– WIREGUARD_PRESHARED_KEY=PreKey*
– WIREGUARD_PUBLIC_KEY=PubKey*
– WIREGUARD_ADDRESSES=100.x.x.x/32
– WIREGUARD_ENDPOINT_IP=my.personal.end.point
– WIREGUARD_ENDPOINT_PORT=65142
– WIREGUARD_ALLOWED_IPS=0.0.0.0/0
– FIREWALL_VPN_INPUT_PORTS=65142
ports:
– 8000:8000 #api
– 8082:8082 #qbt
– 65142:65142 #windscribe
volumes:
– /mnt/containers/gluetun:/gluetun
– /mnt/containers/gluetun/auth/config.toml:/gluetun/auth/config.toml #api key
– /mnt/containers/gluetun/forwarded_port:/tmp/gluetun/forwarded_port #forwarded port
networks:
– proxy
– standard
networks:
proxy:
external: true
standard:
external: true

And here's my qBit compose:

services:
qbt:
image: lscr.io/linuxserver/qbittorrent:latest
container_name: qbt
restart: unless-stopped
network_mode: container:gluetun
environment:
– PUID=0
– PGID=0
– TZ=Europe/Amsterdam
– WEBUI_PORT=8082
– TORRENTING_PORT=65142
volumes:
– /mnt/containers/qbittorrent/config:/config
- /mnt/downloads:/downloads

I am sure there's a mistake on my side, but I'm lost. Any suggestions?

Please, no remarks about user 0; I'm lazy. 🙂
