You mentioned NPM. Not sure if you mean the UI version since you mention config files. Id recommend it heavy. Very noob friendly and provides certs for you.

I’m not sure how to do auth with this setup so I’m missing that info for you though.

That sounds better since it doesn’t have any kind of bundling of images. Do you have a link to anything public I can look at to try out a similar setup?

I used one to reach my qbittorrent selfhost. I found a cool docker image. It bundles a openVPN connection with qbittorrent so that I don’t need my home server to be on a VPN at all times. As well as ensures traffic always goes through VPN. I was running into an issue where I could not reach from my home network. But when I used a cloudflare tunnel it somehow worked. This was all until I realized there was an environment variable of LAN I needed to set which allowed connections from my home network 😮‍💨

I would definitely recommend this setup for any torrenting. I’ve been using it for years with zero IP leaks. Believe me, Spectrum would let me know. They did before I had setup.

EDIT: just realized the guy deleted the docker image for that based on a false positive (that’s been a false positive for a year). I reuploaded their same image to my docker account. Still works without any leak, not sure why they took such a drastic measure.
