It's in the app. Tap on any item and then scroll all the way down until you see the box that says Looking for specific info?

Based. I use gluetun with qbt and ProtonVPN (with port forwarding). Despite this being a tricky config, it was still pretty easy to setup. Can share bash scripts if anyone is interested.

There’s a reason why most providers don’t allow that feature anymore

Yes, cheese pizza

It’s said that port forwarding is a security risk

Says who? Assuming a fully patched system/client and a properly configured firewall/network, I'd love to hear more about these "risks".

Also, qBitTorrent works just fine without it.

Only if you don't care about seeding

This. I switched over to protonvpn, but I’d switch back in a heartbeat if Mullvad re-enables port forwarding.

gluetun bundles a control server on port 8000 which you can query for the port number (don't worry about openvpn being in the url path, it still works with Wireguard). In my bash script (running on the host system), I use curl to retrieve the forwarded port number and then do a POST with that data to the API of my qbt client which is running in another container on port 8080.

Faster downloads (sometimes significantly), easier to connect to seeders.

Glad to see progress on this topic. Pretty sure microplastics will be our generation’s lead.

I’m personally a big fan of bore. It’s easy to setup/use and there’s a free public instance operated by the developer.

Here's a link to the PR for anyone who's interested
