Been having a frustrating but rewarding time setting up my first server with some advice from you all. Learned a lot and feel like I’m almost there with a lot of it. One thing I’ve really been struggling with is public indexers on Prowlarr. In the UK I can only access them behind a VPN but Prowlarr can’t access the rest of the suite if it goes behind Gluetun.
I feel like I’ve tried everything, it seems that I likely want to use the indexer proxy built into Prowlarr but I must be doing something wrong as it’s always refused or never resolves. I did read something about privoxy which I did try and look into but no success. Considered just leaving the whole thing for usenet but I’d just love to get some public trackers working successfully in the UK. Does anyone have any advice to someone still learning please?
Thanks all!
Edit: Thanks all for your input! I got it workihg by adding httpproxy=on to Gluetun then adding the http proxy deets into the Prowlarr http proxy page.
I did try a custom DNS in the Prowlarr compose stack in Portainer but it didn’t help unfortunately. Do you do it a different way?
Omg I was doing DNS wrong in the compose. Totally works now, thank you!
Edit oh no, I thought I’d cracked it but still unable to connect.
I set the computers DNS, not the container … so everything on the computer will use Quad9, etc.
