### qBittorrent example

`VPN_PORT_FORWARDING_UP_COMMAND=/bin/sh -c 'wget -O- --retry-connrefused --post-data "json={\"listen_port\":{{PORTS}}}" http://127.0.0.1:8080/api/v2/app/setPreferences 2>&1'`
`VPN_PORT_FORWARDING_DOWN_COMMAND=/bin/sh -c 'wget -O- --retry-connrefused --post-data "json={\"listen_port\":123}" http://127.0.0.1:8080/api/v2/app/setPreferences 2>&1'`

For this to work, the qBittorrent web UI server must be enabled and listening on port `8080` and the Web UI "Bypass authentication for clients on localhost" must be ticked (json key `bypass_local_auth`) so Gluetun can reach qBittorrent without authentication.
Due to a bug in qBittorrent, for port forwarding to be reestablished after a disconnect, the port needs to be re-set. This can be achieved automatically using the DOWN_COMMAND above.
