This will probably be a really obvious solution, but I'm easily confused when it comes to network stuff. New to NAS / UnRAID.
I use the Mullvad Windows app as a VPN for desktop browsing. I've noticed when it is enabled, I'm unable to access any part of my NAS - shares, webui, dockers etc. Is there something I need to change within UnRAID? I want to avoid making a "permanent" change in Windows as I frequently toggle the VPN on and off, and don't want to have to change network settings every time.
I may have this wrong, but reading around, I got the impression that I could set my desktop up to connect through the NAS's own VPN. I wouldn't want this, as I currently don't plan to have the NAS running 24/7.

I have wanted to run a few things such as remote access, LANCache, radarr/sonarr/deluge but had to stop short when I discovered they all require port forwarding. This is not possible with my ISP/router. I heard that using a VPN is a way to get around this? Is this true, or is there no way to get around port forwarding?
I previously followed though a tutorial in setting up deluge / privoxy / radarr and part of that was configuring a wireguard file which I got though my Mullvad account. I was able to confirm this was working by running the command curl https://am.i.mullvad.net/connected through either the deluge or privoxy container, where it correctly outputs my VPN'd IP. So I got that part working at least.
