This image comes bundled with the alternative Web UI VueTorrent, to enable it you'll have to adjust your settings like pictured below.

WireGuard VPN support

This is probably not going to work if your OS has no kernel with WireGuard support.

Tested Operating Systems:

  • Ubuntu 18.04
  • Ubuntu 20.04
  • Unraid 6.8.3
  • Unraid 6.9 RC2
  • macOS Big Sur 11.2.1 Apple M1

There needs to be a file wg0.conf located in /config/wireguard and you need to set the variable VPN_ENABLED to true for the VPN to start.

The part with net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=0 can be removed or set to 1 if there is no need for ipv6, no attempt will be made in that case to set ip6tables rules and can prevent an error if the module ip6table_filter isn't loaded on the host. The WireGuard configuration should not have any ipv6 related stuff when ipv6 is disabled, otherwise creating the interface will fail. If your vpn provider supports ipv6 and you keep it enabled, you'll have full ipv6 connectivity over the vpn connection (confirmed with Mullvad). If for any reason there's a failure trying to setup ip6tables rules, you'll probably need to do sudo modprobe ip6table_filter on the host, this will mostly happen on systems that have ipv6 completely disabled.

The environment variable VPN_LAN_NETWORK can be set to for example 192.168.1.0/24, 192.168.1.0/24,192.168.44.0/24 or 192.168.1.33, so you can get access to the webui or other additional ports (see below).

If you need to expose additional ports you can use VPN_ADDITIONAL_PORTS, for example VPN_ADDITIONAL_PORTS=7878/tcp,9117/tcp. Every port in this list will be blocked on the vpn interface, so that there's no risk that they might be exposed to the world via the vpn (mostly there in case your vpn provider screws up and piece of mind). Why would you need this? Wanting to route traffic from other containers over the vpn is probably the most used scenario.

wg0.conf example

This is an example of how your wg0.conf could look like.

[Interface]
PrivateKey = supersecretprivatekey
Address = xx.xx.xxx.xxx/32
DNS = 1.1.1.1

[Peer]
PublicKey = publickey
AllowedIPs = 0.0.0.0/0
Endpoint = xxx.x.xxx.x:51820

TorGuard instructions

While Mullvad is pretty straightforward to setup by using the wg0.conf example from above, TorGuard is a bit more complex.

Our wg0.conf should look something like this:

# TorGuard WireGuard Config
[Interface]
PrivateKey = secretprivatekey
ListenPort = 51820
DNS = 1.1.1.1
Address = xx.xx.xxx.xx/24
PreUp = bash /config/wireguard/torguard.sh

[Peer]
PublicKey = publickey
AllowedIPs = 0.0.0.0/0
Endpoint = xx.xxx.xx.xxx:1443
PersistentKeepalive = 25

Pay attention to PreUp = bash /config/wireguard/torguard.sh in our config. That command will execute the below script that you should create in /config/wireguard/torguard.sh, this script will get executed just before starting WireGuard.

#!/usr/bin/bash

pubkey=$(grep PrivateKey "${CONFIG_DIR}/wireguard/wg0.conf" | awk '{print $3}' | wg pubkey)
wgserver=$(grep Endpoint "${CONFIG_DIR}/wireguard/wg0.conf" | awk '{print $3}')

curl -ksG -u "${TORGUARD_USER}":"${TORGUARD_PASS}" \
    --data-urlencode "public-key=${pubkey}" "https://${wgserver}/api/v1/setup"

You will also have to add the additional environment variables TORGUARD_USER and TORGUARD_PASS or fill them in into the script directly (see curl command). These credentials can be found here.

My experience with getting TorGuard working wasn't the smoothest journey to say the least. I had to click around quite a bit and finally after generating my 3rd config it worked. On the Netherlands server for example I didn't get any internet connectivity and at first I was unable to get port forwarding working on the Germany server. All of a sudden after generating the 3rd config and also pasting in the ip found under My Fixed IPs, that seems to populate when doing a Port Forward Request, I managed to get port forwarding working. So don't give up too soon, it can all work eventually.
