Based. I use gluetun with qbt and ProtonVPN (with port forwarding). Despite this being a tricky config, it was still pretty easy to setup. Can share bash scripts if anyone is interested.
Faster downloads (sometimes significantly), easier to connect to seeders.
This. I switched over to protonvpn, but I’d switch back in a heartbeat if Mullvad re-enables port forwarding.
gluetun bundles a control server on port 8000 which you can query for the port number (don’t worry about
openvpn
being in the url path, it still works with Wireguard). In my bash script (running on the host system), I usecurl
to retrieve the forwarded port number and then do a POST with that data to the API of my qbt client which is running in another container on port 8080.
