-
gluetun
VPN client in a thin Docker container for multiple VPN providers, written in Go, and using OpenVPN or Wireguard, DNS over TLS, with a few proxy servers built-in.
-
qbittorrent-natmap
The objective of this container is to run a script that requests a port forward (via NAT-PMP) from the VPN provider and upon success changes the listening port of the qBittorrent client when running in Docker

WorkOS
The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
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.
