Arr, my friends. I have an old laptop already running some servoces on docker 24/7 at home and looking to extend it’s functionalities to become torrent downloader with media server for TV. Need VPN for obvious reasons.

I was wondering if there are already all-in-one solutions to just run docler compose file and get 2 containers: one running torrent client with all traffic via VPN in another?

I plan to use Mullvad VPN.

Upd. Updated title to highlight it’s a request. Not sure why getting downvotes, please elaborate :)

        I wish I could do that as well, but most of the big public trackers are blocked where I live. I need to run Sonarr and the like through the VPN because I can’t search through the trackers otherwise

        I haven’t heard of prowlarr’s HTTP proxy. Do you have a link to more info about it?

          Sure, the docs are pretty minimal though: https://wiki.servarr.com/prowlarr/settings (just click on Proxy)

          Basically you can configure a proxy (from your VPN provider for example) for each indexer (or font add a tag to apply it to all of them), and queries to indexers will run through there. This avoids Sonarr making calls to TVDB or whatever through the VPN and getting blocked.

      This is a great work! Documentation is clear to a person not familiar with the topic (me). Will try that out and provide feedback, thank you!

        I’m currently in the process of a complete rewrite. Once the v2 tag is out I can actually go into deeper feedback :)
