How to route transmission through Mullvad?

Does anyone know the best way to route traffic from transmission through Mullvad?

I have transmissionset up on my plex server which I control using tranmission remote and want to download my Linux ISOs with privacy.

I have downloaded the wireguard config and can connect to it using wg-quick, but I don't want all traffic going through it, only transmission.

I personally shove Transmission into Docker:

services:
  wireguard:
    image: ghcr.io/linuxserver/wireguard
    container_name: wireguard
    cap_add:
      - NET_ADMIN
      - SYS_MODULE
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=Europe/Stockholm
    ports:
      - 9091:9091/tcp
    volumes:
      - ./config:/config
      - /lib/modules:/lib/modules
    sysctls:
      - net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=0
      - net.ipv4.conf.all.src_valid_mark=1
    restart: unless-stopped
  transmission:
    image: ghcr.io/linuxserver/transmission
    container_name: transmission
    ulimits:
      nofile: 1048576
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=996
      - TZ=Europe/Stockholm
      - USER=azurediamond
      - PASS=hunter2
    volumes:
      - ./config:/config
      - /data:/data
      - /data/Torrents/dl:/downloads
      - /data/Torrents/inbox/start:/watch
    network_mode: "service:wireguard"
    depends_on: [ "wireguard" ]
    restart: unless-stopped

Make sure your mullvad config is called wg0.conf in ./config.

I'm trying this and it seems to be running. If I run curl 127.0.0.1:9091 I get a 403 which is expected but if I try to access the same from another computer on the network then the connection times out, any idea what could be the cause?
