Transmission and VPN on a Readynas ?
Hi All, Firstly, I'm new to a NAS and very green so if you can help me please treat me like an technical newbie ! I purchased a ReadyNAS after owning x2 WD My Book Live's and losing ALL my data twi...
I was looking for the same solution as you, but dont use/understand linux so i went with this solution
1. Get the Qbittorrent addon for your readynas.
2. get a vpn from PIA (private internet access). Good reviews, fast speeds and cheap.
3. generate a username password for socks5 proxy by logging into the PIA website.
4. when you have the qbittorrent webui open , put in the correct details. I used this guide as it is similar. https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/forum/index.php?p=/discussion/434/utorrent-install-instructions-for-proxy-proxychecker
Now all torrents will be routed through the proxy and your isp wont know/throttle. Ive got bt infinity ( in the uk) and get 90mb download speeds on torrents from private trackers.
The one downside is that for some reason torrents over 100kb wont load on qbittorrent. the bug is known so hopefully an update will fix the issue.
Hope this helps
