Transmission (and Other) Notifications
I would try the absolute path of the script and see if that does it for you. I'm running transmission on docker using haugene/docker-transmission-openvpn and that's the absolute path within the container, but YMMV if you're running the program somewhere/somehow else.

I'm an idiot and need some experienced eyes to debug VPN and Gluetun crashing
I haven’t used GlueTUN so can’t help unfortunately but I do use this one - https://github.com/haugene/docker-transmission-openvpn and it seems easier and safer (the container stops if the VPN is down)

Transmission 4.0.0 has been released with over a years worth of new features and fixes!
Both of the main docker images I know of are managed by 3rd parties so they don't get updated instantly. Looks like haugene/transmission-openvpn added 4.0.0 to their beta branch a few hours ago

Advice on using VPNs with containers
Some vpns are built into docker containers, such as https://github.com/haugene/docker-transmission-openvpn

I've just just joined the Linux (Unbuntu 2204)and NAS ranks and have questions
Look into docker containers that have kill switches like this one

My first homelab in over a decade. 15yr and 12yr kids will be doing it with me this time. Any suggestion on what we should start with to run? We will have a K8s cluster.
It starts with use a vpn to download, the service is less than $2 per month. And if you want to get fancy, this git is sweet https://github.com/haugene/docker-transmission-openvpn

More than a decade of doing this and I finally get a letter...
If you don't have a local server in your home you can leave connected to VPN 24/7 I'd recommend doing it all through a docker container on your computer. That'll let you keep it on VPN without needing to put everything else on VPN. You could even set up two docker containers. One for the VPN and one for the torrent client, then when you turn on VPN for your regular stuff on the machine you can tunnel through that VPN without needing two take up two device slots. Here's just one option for it. But there are tons of options pre built. https://github.com/haugene/docker-transmission-openvpn Alternatively you could always set up your own if you have the know how.

It's this time of the year again... which open-source project are you donating to?
The last couple of years I have been donating to Gluetun.

How to host a docker based proxy for selected containers
One option I could find is Gluetun, which looks very popular and actively maintained. In this case we have one single point of contact with VPN provider. The other containers should be run with network_mode: service:gluetun. If I understand correctly, those container will use VPN for every network operation, even for inter-container communication. Would they be visible for the containers not attached to gluetun (e.g. the SWAG reverse proxy)?

running a docker with a torrent client and vpn INSIDE the container... bad idea?
I setup Gluetun with qbittorrent in docker. Gluetun connects to the nord via manual login and I get to choose the specific servers I want it to you in its environment variables.
I use gluetun https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun supports multiple vpn providers

Routing torrenting on a home server through VPN
Have you ever heard about gluetun? I think it could be a good solution, or at least this is what I’m using and liking it so far to route my torrent client downloads

Recent terrible streaming services price and shows being butchered left and right pushed me to start building my own self-hosted media server. Using Plex as its easiest to setup sharing with families and friends with the *arr suite running via docker with [Ezarr](https://github.com/Luctia/ezarr)
Gluetun - Creates the VPN connection
Not sure of a free one. I use NordVPN with this docker container https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun and it works great.

Is ProtonVPN committed to offering port forwarding?
It's a bit complex but I use a setup of three docker containers which all share the same networking. I use Gluetun (https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun) as the VPN client and qbittorrent as the torrent client (I use the linuxserver io image but any should qbittorrent client should work). For the port forwarding I use https://github.com/soxfor/qbittorrent-natmap which uses nat-pmp to request a port from ProtonVPN via the Gluetun interface and then automatically updates it in qbittorrent. Gluetun apparently supports Proton port forwarding by default and exposes the port via its API if you want to write your own script, but I couldn't get it to work and it uses openvpn. This setup uses a wireguard config on gluetun from Proton with nat-pmp enabled. I run this on a random weak decade old computer 24/7 but in a desktop environment you should be able to just run it on Docker desktop when you want to torrent. The docker compose file in the natmap repo gives a good idea of this docker stack.

New to go, suggestions for non-web projects.
There is https://github.com/vishvananda/netlink which deals with low level networking stuff, maybe helping out there would be nice. I use it for https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun (also in Go)
What are some alternatives?
