I am struggling to get my proxy setup to work, as described here https://support.nordvpn.com/Connectivity/Proxy/1047410732/Proxy-setup-on-uTorrent.htm
I successfully got the nordvpn login and password, added it to the connection GUI of qbittorrent on my Debian gnu Linux machine, and applied the settings. I use the nl.socks.nordhold.net proxy server, and port 1080. But the final test with the magnet link from ipleak.net fails, and I never see the data from the magnet URL.
Does such a setup work for anyone else out there? How can I debug the setup?
I got it to work by using a different soccks5 server. Those in the Netherlands didn’t work.
Try using the IP address of the NordVPN SOCK5 server, instead of the domain.
I had issues with using the domain name provided by Privado, and found switching to the IP address resolved them.
ok, i tried that (109.202.99.45) and it still does not work. The “retrieving metadata” progress animation keeps animating, and no info in the magnet link on the ipleak.net website shows up.
