I added the VPN_PLRT_FORWARD command on the Gluetun container. It gave me a port. I added that to qbit, and it seemed to work! I’m now wondering why the speeds are so slow though? My download is at upwards of 15MB/s, but the uploads are in the KBs and Bs. I know other people leeching affect the speed, but I figured it has to be faster than that right? Do you think I did something wrong?

I’m going to try with a Linux distro to see if it’s my set up, or just the torrent themselves.

PIA upload is definitely faster than that. It doesn’t saturate my connection but I’ve seen it upload at 5MB/s+ at times. Are you sure you have the right options for the gluetun container as shown in the wiki? You’ll see the port PIA assigns you in the logs.
