Deluge and VPN will not work together

Post by d1ll1gaf »

I am trying to set up a raspberry pi as a torrentbox but cannot get Deluge and my VPN connection to work at the same time.

I have deluged install and configured as a thin client so that it works with the Deluge software on either my laptop or desktop... when running by itself it works great.

I also have openvpn installed and configured to route all traffic through Russia... and just like deluged it works great when running by itself.

The problem occurs when I try and use them in combination... in an instant I have no connection to the internet. Deluge won't connect to any trackers, or peers, and I can't even use other utilities like ping or traceroute (they just time out). I have used Deluge in conjunction with the same VPN server flawlessly on my desktop so I know it's not a case of the VPN provider blocking torrents.

Any ideas?
