I've spent all today and yesterday trying to get this working with PureVPN and QBitTorrent and it hasn't been working much at all 😭. It's been painfully slow when it works at all, which has been rare. Although it has been doing the job of hiding the Docker container IP so that's good, and it makes me think it's something minor, like port forwarding not working because of PureVPN or something off with my settings, or it's a qBittorrent issue, or Docker and Linux inexperience.
Admittedly troubleshooting has been slow because I'm super new to Linux and Docker and keep running into permission and file system issues. Running the VPN and torrent straight in my computer was way easier, but I'd really love to be able to run Plex and a torrent client on the same computer on at the same time with Plex not going through the VPN and the torrent client going through it, which is what this seems great for.
I've set it up with PrivadoVPN without issues, using Docker. Gluetun in its own docker container and Qbittorrent in its own, with network mode set to use the Gluetun contaoner. Haven't tested downloading a lot though. Gluetun has some good docs how to set it up in Docker.
Maybe it's my VPN provider then. I'll have to try it with another one. I've followed so many of those documents. Do you use Port Forwarding with PrivadoVPN?
GlueTun doesn't support port forwarding for PrivadoVPN, so no.
