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)?

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.

Help Requested - Docker, Wireguard PIA VPN, qBitTorrent
I'm in need of help & guidance here. I have a DS 1821+ running the latest DSM 7.1 packages. I've installed Docker and I'm running a few *arr's with no problem using using the information here (https://trash-guides.info/Hardlinks/How-to-setup-for/Synology/). I also have qBitTorrent working, but I'd like to have that traffic routed through a VPN. I installed this Docker image (https://github.com/thrnz/docker-wireguard-pia), but now I'm lost.

Need Help: Wireguard with IPTables killswitch in Docker on QNAP QTS5
I have set up a new QNAP NAS and have a wireguard docker container that I've ported over to it. The container worked on a completely different system, but on the new QNAP NAS it won't work due to an issue with wg-quick and certain functions not being available on the QNAP kernal. The container in question uses the thrnz/docker-wireguard-pia image.

Most overrated and most underrated selfhosted software, in your opinion?
2) Also underrated because it's the only docker image for a VPN provider that supports portforwarding & automatically updates the configured port in QBittorrent settings: https://github.com/thrnz/docker-wireguard-pia
- PIA on raspberry pi
- What are the settings for Qbittorent?
What are some alternatives?
When comparing gluetun and docker-wireguard-pia you can also consider the following projects:
docker-qbittorrentvpn - Docker container which runs a qBittorent-nox client with an optional WireGuard or OpenVPN connection
smtp_to_telegram - A simple program that listens for SMTP and forwards all incoming Email messages to Telegram
openvpn-client
wg-access-server - An all-in-one WireGuard VPN solution with a web ui for connecting devices
multipass - Multipass orchestrates virtual Ubuntu instances
