I use gluetun to route traffic from some of my containers that need a VPN. qBittorrent, Jackett etc. Some containers dont have the option to configure a proxy so you'd have to setup a VPN client within a container which isn't ideal. With gluetun its easy to attach a container to it and it just works

    Why isn't it ideal? I'm currently using this setup with containers routed through a gluetun container connected to a vpn via wireguard, and it seems to be working fine. I've verified using curl inside the relevant containers to query an IP checker and I've also used a torrent IP checker to confirm my torrent client isn't leaking my IP.

    I think he's saying that manually configuring all the containers (without this tool) isn't ideal.
