New to go, suggestions for non-web projects.Enter your NordVPN service username and password, then click OK. Right-click on the application icon, hover over one of the servers, and click Connect. The docker compose file in the natmap repo gives a good idea of this docker stack. Allow the application to make changes to your device because they are necessary for a VPN connection. I run this on a random weak decade old computer 24/7 but in a desktop environment you should be able to just run it on Docker desktop when you want to torrent. As we mentioned above, NordLynx protocol is. This effectively cuts the cost to 3.49 (2.86) per month. Moreover, you can select a protocol that will be used for the automatic reconnection, among OpenVPN (UDP), OpenVPN (TCP), or NordLynx (Recommended). NordVPN offers over 60 percent off its two-year plans, as well as an extra two months of coverage for free.
#Nordlynx vs openvpn plus#
This setup uses a wireguard config on gluetun from Proton with nat-pmp enabled. NordLynx is a more technologically advanced protocol than OpenVPN, as it is both much simpler and more powerful. On the plus side, both NordVPN and Hola offer long-term discounts. Gluetun apparently supports Proton port forwarding by default and exposes the port via its API if you want to write your own script, but I couldn't get it to work and it uses openvpn. For the port forwarding I use which uses nat-pmp to request a port from ProtonVPN via the Gluetun interface and then automatically updates it in qbittorrent.

I use Gluetun () as the VPN client and qbittorrent as the torrent client (I use the linuxserver io image but any should qbittorrent client should work). NordVPN scores well on the VPN essentials, with OpenVPN and its own WireGuard-based NordLynx protocol providing strong encryption, a rock-solid kill switch, and DNS leak protection to help avoid. It's a bit complex but I use a setup of three docker containers which all share the same networking.
