ProtonVPN also provides Wireguard config files if you don't want to use their shitty python based GUI. Supports port forwarding aswell, althought it sucks to set up and requires to manually disable ipv6 support

I created a simple script to automatically request a port to ProtonVPN servers and assign it to qbittorrent:

Thank you, luckily arch-qbittorrentvpn already does those things, so I don't have to

Thanks for sharing! I still need the script because I already have a tunnel on a Mikrotik OS vm router to route all my containers through the vpn.

Another benefit of using network namespaces is that I can just disable IPv6 in the network namespace itself.
