Hello, for my home installation, I’m using a Raspberry Pi with YunoHost installed on it. My server is exposed through a Neutrinet VPN, but I would like to use another VPN, for example Mullvad VPN, for downloads made with Transmission, and only for that, is it possible?
I’m afraid that by installing Mullvad VPN it will take over from the other VPNs, whereas I just want it to be used as a proxy by Transmission.
I think your options are mainly virtualization or something like this
Virtualization is definitely easiest though; there’s a transmission docker image out there that’s preconfigured for a ton of VPN providers, including mullvad. It can be touchy to get working but is amazing when it does work.
I’m using this one: https://hub.docker.com/r/haugene/transmission-openvpn
Save yourself my troubles and go with this suggestion. I’m using this with a few different OpenVPN service providers and it works wonderfully.
Initially I had tried gluetun + transmission with gluetun acting as a socks5 proxy for the transmission instance but the shadowsocks impl it uses won’t support socks5 from any of the torrent clients I tested with.
