you need to set up port forwarding not only with your vpn provider, but also with gluetun:

Oh. My.god. I'm worse at Google Fi than I thought.
Thank you so much! I'll try to get it set up on my break, and report back. Again, thank you so much!!
Did you have a stroke commenting this 4 times? lol
Huh, the other comments show as deleted on my side? Strange.
But it was a glitch of either Connect for Lemmy or of Lemmy itself! About 60-75% of the time I try to post a comment, it times out or whatever and I am under the assumption that it failed to post, so I click "post" again, and that's how I end up with multiple comments haha.
I've started just copying my entire comment, and backing out to check if it already posted when I get that error.
Thanka for bringing it up! :) (Let's see if this comment times out haha)
The best way to troubleshoot your setup is to test each bit by bit individually until you figure out where it's gone wrong.
Try your qbit container without glutun. Can you download and seed a Linux iso from the same directory your current seeds are? If not, you're probably looking at a permissions issue.
Next test your glutun container. Can you ping the tracker from the container? If not, your VPN isn't set up correctly.
Lastly try qbit via glutun, if it doesn't work it's a port forwarding issue.
Good luck!
I'll go ahead and give this a try when I'm off work. Thank you so much for your help!
