I honestly can’t get my head around this. I have a machine with Linux (endeavouros), and docker with a few containers. Since I want all the traffic from this system to go through the VPN, do I need to set up gluetun? I think not, but I am not 100% sure…

    That way, if the VPN goes down, your torrent client isn’t just downloading stuff nakedly.

    You always just bind the torrent client to the VPN adapter so this doesn’t happen. Most modern clients have this (qBittorrent certainly does)

      Oh yeah you can do it that way too, but if you want it all containerized, that’s roughly how to do it. That’s all I meant.
