But going with a self-hosted approach like Towonel, you need a server with a public IP too. And I think what the commenter meant is, if you already have that, you can just setup a WireGuard connection to that public server, so that it can route the traffic to your local network.

At least write your comments by hand, please :(

Did you test your gluetun setup manually and made sure it generally works (e.g. by setting up another container that is connected to gluetun, go into the shell and try to ping a public service, that you’re sure isn’t blocking requests from VPN users)?

If it does work and only qBittorrent can’t connect, it could be due to the trackers blocking VPN users. I’m not torrenting but I’ve read about that in the past.

On first glace I thought I’d be looking at the UI of a streaming service. This is so awful
