port forwarding a specific port through vpn

[RCF]

I have a nas D918+ with Qbittorrent docker (https://registry.hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/qbittorrent/) and i am trying for days google everywhere even on asus merlin wiki and can do it right .

What i am trying to do is i have a expressvpn conf on vpn1 client, and i want to do is that qbit port in that case "6881" goes throw the vpn1 instead off my isp.

Can you give me any light on this matter.

Thanks

You can't configure a port forward through a VPN unless that provider gives you a static IP, and allows you to configure port forwarding on their own end. A typical VPN provider will basically apply a second layer of NAT in front of you, and you have no control over that layer.

Thanks for the reply, and if i push the nas through the vpn is there any script i can use to port forward nat inclusive so i can make use off plex remote access ?

I followed the (https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin.ng/wiki/Policy-based-Port-routing-(manual-method), with sucess but can bypass nat.. Android phone cannot connect even with the port forwarding..

Thanks again

As RMerlin said, "unless that provider gives you a static IP, and allows you to configure port forwarding on their own end".

So check with your VPN provider whether that's a service they offer.
