Is this urgent?

None

Host OS

Ubuntu

CPU arch

x86_64

VPN service provider

ProtonVPN

What are you using to run the container

docker-compose

What is the version of Gluetun

Running version latest built on 2024-10-12T14:29:01.263Z (commit 2388e05)

What's the problem 🤔

It's not crashing anymore but also not working... the forwarded port is just a random one, not the one defined in the docker compose yml: - VPN_PORT_FORWARDING_LISTENING_PORT=53411

As you suggested I should reference the old issue.
Thanks in advance.

We have no control over the port you get assigned from protonvpn; however the port redirection (for ipv4 only here) should work fine. It's not really logged if it works though, but it's active. You can use LOG_LEVEL=debug to see the iptables redirection command ran to redirect that port.

Doesn't look to good to be honest.
It doesn't look like it's working?!

The iptables redirection also on IPv4 is not working 😞

It is setup correctly for IPv4:

You might be misunderstanding how the VPN server port forwarding works, what's your use case? I guess it's torrenting, and, if so, the forwarded port has to be the one assigned by the vpn provider, not the redirected one, since from an external peer perspective, only the VPN provider assigned port is reachable.

You can check it works by following https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun-wiki/blob/main/setup/advanced/vpn-port-forwarding.md#test-it and replace:

  • ./port-checker -port 4567 with ./port-checker -port 53411 (your redirection destination port)
  • http://99.99.99.99:4567/ with http://your-vpn-server-ip:49831
