Here is a list of WireGuard VPN providers. I've chosen to only list providrs what have a maximum of 2 major concerns over at safetydetectives.com, these concerns can not be security related. I receive no commission for linking to these providers. Personally I have only tested Mullvad, which are a great provider, so I can't speak for the others. Read about them and make up your own decision.
| Provider | No. of major concerns | WireGuard Port Forwarding |
|---|---|---|
| Mullvad | 0 | ✅ Source |
| Private Internet Access | 0 | ✅ Source |
| OVPN | 1 | ✅ Source |
| IVPN | 0 | ✅ Not available in the US. Source |
| AirVPN | 1 | ✅ Source |
| AzireVPN | 1 | ✅ Source |
git clone https://github.com/SebDanielsson/compose-transmission-wireguard.git- Edit
wg0.conf(WireGuard) with credentials from your VPN provider. - Edit
transmission.envand add your preferred username and password to access the WebUI. Also change peerport to a port that is open at your VPN provider. docker compose up -dand you should be up and running.- The Transmission WebUI is accessible at 127.0.0.1:9091. I highly recommend to use a VPN to access your WebUI remotely.
Update bind-address-ipv4 and bind-address-ipv6 in Transmission's settings.json to the external IP of the VPN server for a built in kill switch.
Default WebUI theme is Transmissionic bundled with linuxserver/docker-transmission. See their repo for alternatives.
