Do you experience similar connectivity issues when using a VPN provider for torrenting? I have tried different servers (which allow torrenting), both udp/tcp protocol, and the recommended dns settings, yet it remains quite buggy. Somtimes, it works well and remains stable for a few days or even weeks. But eventuelly it loses connection, although it says it's still connected. Have any of you encountered the same problems?
I am using: DSM 6.2.4-25556 Update 7 and Proton as VPN Provider.
My current setup of running qBittorrent in a docker container, and VPN service in another container, gives me stable torrenting via the VPN connection. Also running DSM 6.2
With download station. I think the problem is not the acutally torreting, it's more the connection to the vpn server which is not stable. Thx, I will take a look into docker container, maybe this is the better solution.
I gave up on DSM's own VPN client setup, because IIRC first it only supports OpenVPN, and 2nd it tends to quietly disconnect from the VPN server even if keep-alive is enabled.
But if you do want to stick with DSM VPN, I wrote a script before that would help revive the connection even if it gets severed. Maybe this will help you. Let me know if you want to give it a try, so I can see if I still have it somewhere to share with you.
