Bug: qBittorrent extremely slow startup and incomming connections port status change

[pentago]

Is this urgent?

No

Host OS

Ubuntu 22

CPU arch

x86_64

VPN service provider

Mullvad

What are you using to run the container

docker-compose

What is the version of Gluetun

Running version latest built on 2022-12-31T17:50:58.654Z (commit ea40b84)

What's the problem 🤔

Noticed two frustrating issues when using Mullvar with Wireguard:

1. qBittorrent container takes an enormously long time to complete the startup (starts much faster without gluetun).
   I there anything that impacts container start time in this setup? I use compose..

2. Upon start, qBittorrent is marked as "Firewalled" meaning it doesn't accept any incoming connections even though the firewall is properly open.

​I noticed that if I leave it alone, connectivity restores back after 10+ minutes or so after I start all containers.
​Not sure why because following the gluetun logs shows that I'm connected to Wireguard node within a couple of seconds.​​So seemingly, all is working but takes 10+ minutes for something to settle down somehow :/

Apparently, something involving the gluetun makes qBittorrent very sluggish and slow in regular work, is there anything that can be done to remedy this situation?

I'm having a similar issue while using OpenVPN. The download does not start at all. I'll leave it on for the night and see if this changes. Although I did test it out using https://torguard.net/checkmytorrentipaddress.php and the IP was displayed so outgoing must be working.

This issue should be closed, Mullvad doesn't support port forwarding https://mullvad.net/en/blog/2023/5/29/removing-the-support-for-forwarded-ports
