You must have made a mistake somewhere, as once I close the Proton VPN client (actual "close", as in the app is not running anymore) my qBit does stop downloading (just tested), although the rest of the system still has access to the network (must have something to do with how apps are installed on Linux, I guess).
In my qBit settings > advanced > network interface I read "tun0", and that's what I think was suggested in the official setup guide on Proton. What do you have?
Hey, I've been torrenting on Linux through the ProtonVPN program without issues for the past months.
I don't know the specifics because I'm new to Linux, but I followed the official guide on how to set it up and everything just worked. Don't even need to change the port in qBit, I can upload anyway as long as I pick a P2P server in Proton, and very fast too (depending of what people want me to seed), uncapped upload speed often nears my max upload bandwidth.
Also binding qBit to the VPN is not a problem, just follow the official guide. Tested it now, and if I disconnect the VPN, qBit shows a red world in the network status and speeds go to zero, so it works.
It's true that the Linux client is not as fully-fledged as the Windows one, but it's not unusable.
I'm on PoP!_OS if it can be of any help. If you have questions that might help you with using Proton on Linux feel free to ask and I'll try my best!
I got curious and tried Amaze again as well, no luck on my side either: I can connect to the server but it doesn't actually show the various directories. Must be some bug or incompatibility between the two, considering it hasn't been updated in a very long time.
Looks like Ghost Commander is the only working FOSS option, after all; really, never judge a book by its cover haha
Thanks again!
Haha, that's really helpful, thanks! You went the extra extra mile! I swear I did try Ghost Commander the last time I had to FTP from phone to PSV and it didn't work... guess I found out about the VPN issue after exploring other apps and then forgot to try Ghost Commander without VPN.
Thanks again, really appreciate it!
edit: so, I tried Ghost Commander like you suggested, but I still couldn't access the FTP. What I did to make it work, though, was to simply disconnect my phone from cellular data, turn off VPN (and untoggle "always on VPN" and "block connections without VPN") and then turn on hotspot. This did the trick and I managed to finally use FTP. Haven't tried Amaze, but I have no reason to think it doesn't work this way.
Must be some weird shenanigans going on between my ROM/VPN/file manager combo. In future I'll just remember to basically do FTP offline without VPN!
Thanks though!
Reversing the roles is also a smart move! Unfortunately I don't have either of those apps on my PSV, and downloading a vpk doesn't work (I think because I'm missing the plugin that allows you to download all file extensions), so I think this won't work for me!
Hopefully, though, when someone searches the web for Vita FTP in the future, they'll find your answer and solve their problems!
Thanks again!
Nope, haven't managed to FTP yet, so you're not late. I had just given up until next week when I get to my PC lol
That makes sense, somewhat. It's a connection and it doesn't go through the VPN, so it gets blocked. A bit too literal of a setting though haha
Yeah, I digged a bit more and found other reports of people managing to FTP by using MiX. Since it's not open source I wanted to try and fix it wihout it, but yeah doesn't look like it's possible
This part was already clear, but thanks anyway!
I'll try MiX as soon as I can, thank you!
Appreciate it, have a nice rest of your day!
This is the most plausible explanation to me as well
Thanks for the help! I'm actually tired of looking, spent the whole day trying to find a way to make it work haha in the end I'll just wait for a PC! Thanks again though
Yep, unfortunately no PC at the moment. Bit of a bummer, tried everything lol guess I need to wait for a PC, as via browser I basically can't access any websites since it's very outdated. Thanks though
Is there a list of nyaa mirrors? I have bookmarked nyaa si and nyaa iss one, I think because at some point nyaa si wasn't working properly. Would love to have more in case shit hits the fan
Same approach, especially now that I upgraded my storage. Got a ratio of 135 on one file, no idea how or why though
