Hi, so as I understand you are using openvpn and have specified your ovpn file? Are you sure that the ovpn file works and that itβs content is the most recent from the provider? Thanks!
I was using the same ovpn file earlier this week with no issue, and before I pulled the latest update it was displaying the VPN connection confirmation in the logs.
Not sure if this helps, but i found this logged as the client is loading up:

I have now also tried 4 different ovpn files freshly downloaded from the provider and all have the same impact on the addon. If I remove the VPN config, the addon starts fine.
Thanks Iβve checked on Google and it seems a kind of bug in the latest version of openvpn. Iβll try to pin an older version
Any luck with this?
hi, for some strange reason I donβt get notifications from this forum - however I do hope you are one of those that got it solved on github 
There is a bug with a latest version of openvpn and the solution is to remove the CRL check :

Hey @alexbelgium, I do have a question for you.
Iβve installed qBittorrent and it works perfectly for some time.
Movies are downloaded and they even are moved to my drive.
But aparently there is problem with utilization of the resources on the machine. When qbittorrent is runnig and downloading (not on idle) the utilization of procesor and memory is huge:
In the places where you see the drops - HA decides to restart at that moments.
My setup:
Raspberry Pi 4
2GB RAM
Router: TUF GAMING AX6000
Router connected to raspberry with cable connection
On Raspberry I have AdGuard
To Router I have connected hard drive (WD Elements 25A2).
Qbittorrent is downloading straight to harddrive, and then copying files to another folder when they are done.
What I already did is Iβve cut all numbers in Advanced settings of qBittorrent by half, but still got the same problem today at night.
I didnβt enable any specific ports on my router.
Sadly there is nothing I could find in logs that might be helpful⦠
Do you have any ideas on how to improve this?
I fear thatβs just due to how qbittorrent is codedβ¦ It is not known to be easy on resources. On the other hand, transmission is and it has ui just as nice!

Just a note for anyone who may get the following error, when mounting SMB:
pcap_activate(eth0) FAILED: socket: Permission denied.
It is just the username and password are wrong. re-verify them! It is not a AppArmour or permissions issue.

Hi,
I have a strange issue with this addon.
I canβt change any settings from ingress interface.
For example I want to βDelete .torrent file afterwardsβ, I thick the box and after I save the settings it resets to default.
The same thing happens for all the other settings.
Any possible solution?
Thanks!
Hi sorry I canβt replicate do you have puid 0 and PGID 0 in the add-on settings? It would likely be a permission issues
Hi Alex,
Both PUID and PGUID are 0. Should I change the to 1?
Thanks!
Hi, mmh I canβt replicate. Iβm using vuetorrent as ui in ingress but it shouldnβt matter as anyway qbittorrent modifies the qBittorrent.conf file. Some settings that can be managed through the add-on options are overwritten at add-on start (such as the save path) but it shouldnβt prevent saving options from ingress.
Could you please try :
- to replicate this behavior using direct access with Ip:port
- look in the log if there is an error message
- delete your qBittorrent.conf file using filebrowser in /homeassistant/addons_config/qBittorrent to restart the config from scratch?
Hi Alex,
Things I did so far:
- Used IP:Port to update the values - same result as from Ingress interface
- I donβt see any errors in the log file
- Deleted qBittorrent.conf and checked the logs afterwards.

Thanks can you please post your full add-on startup log either on the github repo open issue or here? Iβm looking to see if anything has gone wrong in files permissions
Edit : correction, I can change options (such as pre-allocate disk space) but NOT delete .torrent files 
but basically it is one of the only setting that doesnβt seem to stick for me! Is it the same for you?

And yes, it seems that βDelete .torrent fileβ is the only option that canβt be saved.
All the other settings can be saved without any issues
Actually as it is the only option that canβt be saved (Murphys law) the easiest way would be to stop the add-on and manually add the line for this option in the qBittorrent.conf found in /by addons_config/xxx-qbittorrent using filebrowser for example! I havenβt found however which line should be used the add-on should be stopped before modifying the file manually or it wonβt stick
Edit : it is indeed a qbittorrent bug (ex : "Also when addition is cancelled" is broken Β· Issue #5451 Β· qbittorrent/qBittorrent Β· GitHub) and the solution could be to add in the qBittorrent.conf
[Core]
AutoDeleteAddedTorrentFile=IfAdded
Edit2 : looks like the flag does get saved, the missing link is in qBittorrent ui
It looks like I already have this line in the qBittorrent.conf file
I think we should consider this as solved because I thought I might be doing something wrong, without knowing that this is a known bug of qBittorrent.
Thank you for you help!
