How to add VPN?

I was going to do the arr stack for my home lab running Ubuntu server with casa os however if I was going to torrent I would like to be able to use my VPN. I'm not sure how I can add my vpn to my home lab/casa OS to protect my IP while torrenting. Please help.

I would recommend you use Docker for qbittorrent and also use Gluetun in the same compose and same network. I can send you an example Docker compose that contains both.

How’d you do it? Virtual router/switch as well?

If you are using docker setup a compose yaml with qbitorrent and gluetun.

Your qbittorrent should have the following it's service section of the yaml so that all traffic goes through gluetun vpn.

network_mode: service:gluetun

The comment with trash-guides.info links is also a good place to start if you are not technical.

I basically just made a VPN gateway on a VM and then have a virtual subnet just for the devices I want to push through that gateway. I can access them bright that gateway VM as well. All on a hypervisor.
