Greetings fellow qubes users! Long time tinkerer, first time poster so I apologize if I make some mistakes here and will gladly correct them.

On to my issue: I have been operating a media server on my home network using openmediavault for some time now. I recently acquired a desktop that was a perfect donor for a qubes setup. After some trials and tribulations and the installation of a few forks, I've managed to get OMV to operate as a VM and I have access to it and it's services through my network. My issue is that I use the CouchPotato and Sickbeard plugins, which use a transmission torrent plugin to download television programming and movies. For obvious reasons, I would prefer to torrent over Tor. OMV works flawlessly when connected to sys-firewall but not when connected to sys-whonix - I lose the ability to reach the server from every device. Is there a way to feed both to my OMV VM so that I could use sys-firewall to offer services to the network and sys-whonix for anon downloads?

Thanks in adance for your time!

Please, don't do that. You'll not only be degrading
performance of the Tor network but also leaking your
real IP address. See this blog post [1] for details.


Cheers,

You may want to use the I2P network instead, which has torrent
capability built-in.
