Recently mullvad stopped the port forwarding, are there some other trustworthy VPN to do Torrenting out there or others solutions to do torrenting with Mullvad?

Why does it need to be in a container? Also the Linux GUI client has no port forwarding options

It doesn't need to be in a container, but it works well in one for my use case. I use it in a headless server running OpenMediaVault with qBittorrent and a bunch of arr apps. The apps are all in containers sharing a network with port forwarding set up, so that none of them leak any DNS information.

Running it with Gluetun makes me think they are just using that container to attach other containers to a VPN, so only the services that need to be behind a VPN.

I use a similar setup on my server, where all of my media is virtualized and containerized.
