unraid binhex-qbittorrent randomly not uploading/downloading

[cdunn8945 0]

Good Afternoon,

I am using AirVPN in a qbitorrentVPN-binhex docker container in unRAID. I have it using a open vpn configuration. My private tracker will tell me that I am no longer connectable and it cannot see my client. I have port forwarded on airvpn and added that port to qbittorent and it usually works, but randomly stops. Then when I go to my qBittorrrent I see that it is no longer downloading or uploading anything as before It was always uploading 24/7 atleast something now it shows it is uploading nothing at all. Is there any fix or any reason why it might just stop working all of a sudden this has happened probably two times in the past two weeks very randomly usually I notice it in the evening times central time, but I am unsure exactly when it stops communicating. Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Hello!

For the readers' comfort and to suggest troubleshooting ideas, we paste the answer by the support team to your ticket (with a few omissions for privacy reasons):

Hello and thank you for your choice!

This is what we see on the server you are currently connected to (xxx):
<...>
 

a.b.c.d is your VPN IPv4 address, so the port forwarding is active and properly configured. We have noticed that when we try to send a packet to your node, the attempted connection is actively reset by your system (TCP RST) on both ... and ... ports. As you can see from the nftables counters, packets are sent to your system.

When this problem occurs you should verify your virtual environment to understand why the attempted connections are reset. It could be a firewall rule, but it could also be your kernel that's configured to reset attempted connections to non-existing ports. This last case would imply that the qBittorrent process is either not running or binding to a wrong interface, or maybe stuck to a previous socket because the VPN connection dropped and was re-established. When it happens, if the container destroys the tun and re-creates it, then qBittorrent needs to be restarted. This is a known issue for example in GlueTun:

The above would also explain why you experience the problem 1-2 times per week, which could be a disconnection event frequency.

 

Kind regards
