-Working on it :)
+Remember: **You should always use a VPN when downloading torrents!**.
+
+YAMS uses [gluetun](https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun) for VPN.

+You can also set a [custom VPN provider](https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun/wiki/Custom-provider), but **this is not officially supported for YAMS. You are on your own here.**
+
+### Manual configuration
+
+To manually configure your VPN, you have to edit your `docker-compose.yaml` file.
+
+First, stop `YAMS`:
+```bash
+$ yams stop
+```
+
+Then, open your `docker-compose.yaml` file. For this tutorial, I'm assuming the install location is `/opt/yams`. Also, you don't have to use `vim`, you can use `nano` or any other editor.
+
+```bash
+$ vim /opt/yams/docker-compose.yaml
+```
+
+On the file, find the `qbitorrent` config and make the following changes:
+
+```yaml
+...
+ # ports: # qbittorrent -> Comment this line
+ # - 8080:8080 # qbittorrent -> Comment this line
+ network_mode: "service:gluetun" -> Uncomment this line
+```
+
+Then, at the bottom, find the `gluetun` config and make the following changes:
+
+```yaml
+...
+ - 8080:8080/tcp # gluetun -> Uncomment this line
+...
+ environment:
+ - VPN_SERVICE_PROVIDER=<vpn_service> # -> Replace "<vpn_service>" with your VPN service provider
+ - VPN_TYPE=openvpn
+ - OPENVPN_USER=<vpn_user> # -> Replace "<vpn_user>" with your VPN username
+ - OPENVPN_PASSWORD=<vpn_password> # -> Replace "<vpn_password>" with your VPN password
+ - SERVER_COUNTRIES=<vpn_country> # -> Replacee "<vpn_country>" with your VPN country
+```
+
+Now, restart `YAMS`:
+
+```bash
+$ yams restart
+```
+
+Finally, check that your VPN is running correctly:
+
+```bash
+$ yams check-vpn
+
+Getting your qBittorrent IP...
+<your_qbittorrent_ip>
+Your country in qBittorrent is Brazil
+
+Getting your IP...
+<your_local_ip>
+Your local IP country is North Korea
+
+Your IPs are different. qBittorrent is working as expected! ✅
+```
+
+If it's not running correctly, check every setting and make sure they are all correct.
