    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.

  • 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

  • gluetun-wiki

  • qbittorrent can use proxies if I remember correctly, so you just need to enable privoxy in the gluetun service, and add the ip of the machine plus the choosen port for the proxy to qbittorrent settings from the web interface.
