ProtonVPN for port forwarding, Mullvad for easy usage (Wireguard on Linux).

I use vopono on Linux too.

ProtonVPN works great via Wiregurd on Linux as well just not through the GUI; you can download the configs and connect through terminal or other Wireguard client

ProtonVPN also provides Wireguard config files if you don't want to use their shitty python based GUI. Supports port forwarding aswell, althought it sucks to set up and requires to manually disable ipv6 support

I created a simple script to automatically request a port to ProtonVPN servers and assign it to qbittorrent:

Thank you, luckily arch-qbittorrentvpn already does those things, so I don't have to

Thanks for sharing! I still need the script because I already have a tunnel on a Mikrotik OS vm router to route all my containers through the vpn.

Another benefit of using network namespaces is that I can just disable IPv6 in the network namespace itself.

I'll admit, I have no idea what the benefit of port forwarding is. I use Mullvad in a Gluten container.

Faster downloads (sometimes significantly), easier to connect to seeders.
