qBittorrent healthcheck script

Important

Update 23 March 2025: This script is redudent if you use Gluetun VPN because it supports a post port forwarding script. See details here with a qBittorrent example.

A qBittorrent script that takes advantage of the docker healthcheck ability to do a few things every x seconds:

Check if qBitorrent is up
If yes, check if the configured listening port is the same as the forwarded port of the VPN provider.

Create DNS-over-TLS bridge with Pi-hole, unbound and stubby on Ubuntu Server

Few months ago, I've made a similar work but I wanted something a little more easier to manage. Please have a look at here for my previous work.

This time, I'm gonna do pretty much the same thing but using Pi-hole as base then modify it to include unbound and stubby.

This way, I can use the power of Pi-hole with some additional security layers:

Recursive DNS check (unbound)
DNS-over-TLS (stubby)

Nginx

nginx is a reverse proxy supported by Authelia.

Configuration

We will be working with these files.

/etc/nginx/authelia.conf

Docker on Android 🐋📱

Edit 🎉

All packages, except for Tini have been added to termux-root. To install them, simply pkg install root-repo && pkg install docker. This will install the whole docker suite, left only Tini to be compiled manually.

Summary

pfSense Simple Home Configuration - 2.4.3 / 2.4.4

Starting from Scratch

This is my personal guide for installing pfSense. Hope you find it useful. I made these notes to capture the details of my "install from scratch" to ensure I didn't miss important details. Also, I'm trying build my network with discrete "disposable" components that make the system mutable and less rigid. It does not cover installing any packages like Squid or Suricata as that's way beyond the scope of a basic, functional install.

I migrated from an environment that was at various times running Tomato Toastman 1.28 or Asuswrt-Merlin on Netgear and ASUS routers across four "access points" (one always acting as the firewall/gateway, the rest as APs). It was OK pre-gigabit, but had roaming problems, and I was using large Wifi routers with most of the features disabled. Also, I found that I could easily swamp the network and tank VOIP and Wifi Calling without even trying. The only fix was to throttle everything by using Bandwidth Limit
