Webtop – Alpine,Ubuntu,Fedora,and Arch containers containing full desktop envs
I've been using the LSIO Webtop images for a few years. They're awesome for composable desktops that I run behind a VPN for a quick and easy dirty connection at home.
Combine the Webtop images by forcing it's traffic through the Gluetun [0] container and you're up and running. These Webtop containers are nice and snappy as well thanks to Kasm. Awesome OSS.

Mullvad will drop OpenVPN support
There is gluetun, https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun, which servers a similar purpose and supports ovpn and wireguard. It's mainly used with Docker to have namespace-based proxying of traffic for a container.

Communicating with another docker container that is networked through a VPN container
I have containers a,b,c. Container C is running Gluetun (https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun) which is a VPN container.
- Restart vpn connection (new ip) from inside the container?

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)?

Express vpn container
Try setting it up. https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun See if it works for your needs.

Easy port-forwarding on linux
After some digging around, I found this project, which I think should get a lot more light on itself. It allows to setup port-forwarding on linux very easily, together with a lot of other things !

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.

port forwarding is highly effective
https://github.com/DyonR/docker-qbittorrentvpn is the container I use so I don’t see an easy way to use port forwarding with this method.

wg client public IP changes, and the connection drops completely
I am running this docker image on my raspberry pi (https://github.com/DyonR/docker-qbittorrentvpn) , which runs a qbittorrent over wireguard(client). I have setup a wireguard server on a vps.

qBit and VPN
After changing CIDR I decided to try one more thing. qBittorrentVPN , which previous also didn't work now works like a charm. It doesn't have kill switch hardcoded, so I had manually set them to my new CIDR and my local network. I only worry that other apps from TrueCharts might have hardcoded other CIDR bits witch may be a problem in the future But for now it's victory!

Recommend me a VPS which is cool with torrents
Ummm this sounds naive if you ask me but if you use Hetzner with a torrent client combined with vpn (e.g. https://github.com/DyonR/docker-qbittorrentvpn) you should be good to go. Hetzner isn't bad.

qbittorent docker with IVPN
I run this one: https://github.com/DyonR/docker-qbittorrentvpn in my kubernetes cluster. It supports IVPN just fine (at least Wireguard, since I don't use OpenVPN). Once the WG tunnel is active, you should have an interface named "wg0" in the interface list: Tools->Options->Advanced->Network Interface. Select that and QBit will use that interface only (which means it won't communicate if the WG tunnel is down; which is what I want.

Looking for NVME plan with high speed and high rate of direct streams available
Your cheaper option but with some learning involved is to rent a hetzner for example, use swizzin in conjuction with something like a vpn for qbittorrent, some details: How to use a vpn with qbittorent? : qBittorrent (reddit.com) Also I believe there is a docker image, here is one: GitHub - DyonR/docker-qbittorrentvpn: Docker container which runs a qBittorent-nox client with an optional WireGuard or OpenVPN connection Hetzner is in no way public torrent friendly, which is why public trackers must be used only behind a reliable kill-switch vpn option.

40 Containers & Counting...
The qBit + VPN is a Docker container that uses Wireguard or OpenVPN to route only the qBittorrent traffic through the VPN. It also has a kill switch built in. The project readme can probably explain how it works better than I can
- QBittorrent through Wireguard, separate containers, not Docker network... Possible?
