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

You can also set up 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.
