Connect Transmission
Before you start. Use the same login the Transmission web interface asks for, and widen rpc-whitelist, it defaults to 127.0.0.1, so this device is refused until it is listed.
- Its address, with the port:
http://192.168.1.20:9091by default, or your reverse proxy's address. More on addresses. - User + password: the same login as its web interface.
- Test it before you save. If it fails, Cupola tells you why.
Away from home, Cupola uses your VPN or reverse proxy: how that works.

Questions
Is there a Transmission app for iPhone and Android?
Yes: Cupola, free and open source, connects to Transmission directly. It is a public TestFlight beta on iPhone, iPad and Mac, and an APK on Android. See install.
What does Cupola sign in to Transmission with?
User + password: the same login as its web interface. Cupola keeps it in your device's secure storage.
How do I manage my home server from my phone when I am away?
With the route you already have: a VPN such as WireGuard or Tailscale, or a reverse proxy. Give a connection a second address for when you are out, and Cupola uses whichever one answers.
My services are behind a reverse proxy with a self-signed certificate. Will it work?
Yes. Cupola asks once before trusting a certificate, then pins it to that host. Cloudflare Access tokens, proxy passwords and custom headers work too.
