Connection between Qbitt and Gluetun - only network mode supported?

[Stiefmeister]

I suppose http proxy will not work within Qbitt and network mode (--network=container:gluetun) is required?

Thanks for clarification!

The reason for it needing to use network=container:gluetun or network=service:gluetun (either/or, depending on how it's deployed/implemented) is the need to access the tun interface of the VPN container, so that the VPN endpoint can be contacted to request the NAT-PMP/port forward.

IIRC, using SOCKS5 or HTTP proxy (for peer-to-peer connections) won't allow for a port foward to be used. The torrent client is essentially un-connectable/firewalled.

Thanks for the quick reply; that's what I thought
