Occasionally I see people mention gluetun.
- What’s gluetun? Seems like it’s a VPN client? What’s special about it?
- How do you use it in your setup?
- Do I need to know about this if I use Tailscale on the host for connecting to my VPN?
- Would gluetun allow me to use an additional VPN provider for certain apps without messing with the host Tailscale?
I have a torrent client in a docker container thats hooked up to it. Makes it so its not possible for your real IP to leak. If the VPN disconnects the torrent container loses internet.
Isn’t that possible from within the torrent client? I use interface binding in qBittorrent and it cuts off whenever my VPN drops. Or does this not work from within the container? (My torrent client is not in a container as I’m still learning.)
I have Deluge and Gluetun in containers. Deluge relies on Gluetun and won’t do anything unless it’s running and connected.
