Hi selfhosted, I made a short tutorial for anyone who might want to dive into arr selfhosted software but dont know where to start. I did it on my RPI but docker config will work in any docker friendly environment so adjust it to your scenerio. I will gladly discuss that topic so fell free to talk.
You could make a container for the VPN and have the torrents route through that. Instead of having the whole system go through the VPN. You can then also make the VPN a dependency of the torrent container to prevent it from leaking torrent traffic out of your standard internet connection.
How would one do that if they had basic Linux knowledge but have not really touched docker? Asking for a friend and for his educational purposes only :)
Using Google ;-)

Ah yes, the eternally helpful answer of “look it up yourself” which absolutely encourages people to partake in communities and ask questions when they see things that make them curious
Sure, but im using this setup only for downloading so it doesnt really matter to me. Everything works fine so i stoped tinkering at some point and i just let it work.
if you’re going to share it as a noob-friendly package, maybe don’t be such a prick about making it noob-friendly
