    I use gluetun to route traffic from some of my containers that need a VPN. qBittorrent, Jackett etc. Some containers dont have the option to configure a proxy so you’d have to setup a VPN client within a container which isn’t ideal. With gluetun its easy to attach a container to it and it just works

      Why isn’t it ideal? I’m currently using this setup with containers routed through a gluetun container connected to a vpn via wireguard, and it seems to be working fine. I’ve verified using curl inside the relevant containers to query an IP checker and I’ve also used a torrent IP checker to confirm my torrent client isn’t leaking my IP.

            Also the biggest benefit; You only need 1 VPN connection and 1 key pair for gluetun to connect everything. Most VPN providers limit the amount of active simultaneous connections. If you have lots of containers that need it then it’s not possible

      Neat. I never need a VPN for more than a few days at a time, but if I ever sub to one long term I’ll keep this in mind.
