'Canada Is a Video Piracy Hotspot While Brazil Sees Piracy in Decline'

I think you’re in a different bubble. If no one used vpn for torrents why is one of the top docker images for transmission one to support vpns? No ones spending money on a seed box that’s just casually torrenting.

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 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)

Using Synology NAS as VPN server to send the traffic to the internet

Anyone knows how to do this. I installed runfalk/synology-wireguard with complied .spk file, I managed setup macOS client and hand shake is successful. I added /etc/sysctl.conf with net.ipv4.ip_forward=1 as stated in this. But no success, the Synology is reachable via wireguard tunnel but not internet,
