Switching VPN exit point and/or provider without restarting/rebuilding containers using the VPN

Featured Replies

I'm still relatively new to UNRAID, and primary use case is a media server for Plex, Jellyfin, qbittorrent, radarr, sonarr, lidarr, etc.

I've been using commercial VPN's (PIA, Express, Proton) since 2018, and I've accepted that I regularly have to switch to a different exit point as sites will block VPN IP's, and torrents with slow or stop. I'm used to the dance of stopping torrents, killing my torrent client, changing exit points, then restarting my torrent client, often multiple times a day. I know VPN providers have some automatic changing of exit points, but that appears to be limited to either just your county, or just a small area of your country, and in my case in the US, there are a bunch of regions. Right now, I'd need multiple tunnels set up, and if I want to switch my containers from wg0 to wg1, I have to edit every container and restart them.

It seems to me there has to be simple desktop environment, similar to what a docker-Firefox uses, that would allow you to install the native linux app for your VPN provider, or providers if you have multiple, then just route all your torrent based containers through that container. My goal here is that any containers that connect through this "VPN Container" wouldn't have to be restarted, or rebuilt or anything if you change exit points or providers, they just momentarily lose internet, then reconnect a few moments later, just with a new public IP.
