Does anyone know how to run qbittorrent and protonvpn in a VM? When I try to run the qbittorrent setup app I get this message (image below) and I don't see anything mentioning a VM in the qbittorrent [dot] org forum.
I am new to torrenting, so I don't really know what to do. I figured/assumed that torrenting/seeding in a VM might be safer as it is another layer deep, and that it may help keep traffic separate (inside the VM: I'd be using a vpn and torrenting, and outside the VM: I'd not be using a vpn and just regular internet surfing). Is this possible?
Thank you.
It'd be even better and safer, if you pick Docker containers over VMs. Give them a shot, they'll require less resources and would be overall much more efficient for a this purpose.
Dumb question: can you run docker containers on your base computer, every guide ive seen about them only talks about using them on servers.
Yes you can! I think about a server as more of a role than a specific piece of hardware. Any computer can act as a server even a phone.
A server is just a PC whose primary purpose is serving apps or files. You can run Docker off of your desktop easily, people just usually segregate stuff like that to an unused PC that they then call a server. Your Docker server could be a laptop, a Raspberry Pi, or in my case a Dell desktop I stole out of a trash can at my last corporate job.
