ruTorrentvpn-plus-plus

ruTorrent with OpenVPN client, http proxy, dns-over-tls and a random ovpn picker.

High-level instructions

• Run docker - first run will stop itself due to missing ovpn file
• Copy / extract your ovpn files in the host path that is mapped to /config/ovpn_files (at least 1 file is required, must have .ovpn extension)
• If there are separate cert files (crt + pem), place them in host location path that is mapped to /config/ovpn. This is not required if you use PIA ovpn files as they include the certs in the ovpn.
• Start docker again

Key features

1. ruTorrent + rTorrent
2. OpenVPN client to connect to your favourite VPN provider. Note: require port forwarding!
3. Random ovpn picker at start/restart, useful if a server stops working. Note: multiple ovpn files required e.g. PIA ovpn files)
4. Privoxy for http proxy (ip:8118)
5. Stubby for dns-over-tls client (ip:53 or 127.2.2.2:53 or 127.2.2.2:5253)
6. Minor / cosmetic fixes

Notes

• I code for fun and my personal uses; hence, these niche functionalties that nobody asks for. ;)
• Tested exclusively with PIA ovpn files
• Intended to be used with Unraid but would work in other x86/amd64 environments too.
• If you like my work, a donation to my burger fund is very much appreciated.
