I am running Ubuntu Server with Plex, qBittorrent-Nox, and CyberGhost. I want to route qBittorrent through the CyberGhost VPN, but not Plex.

I have never used Docker, but from what I gather online, it seems like the containers operate like little VM’s for compartmentalization and resource allocation. If that is correct, would I be able to put qBittorrent-Nox and CyberGhost into the same docker container to route qBittorrent-Nox through the VPN while Plex runs outside the VPN in its own snap?

Thanks for the help!

    Never heard of CyberGhost before. Does its Linux client not support split tunneling? Many VPN clients do, which lets you route only certain programs though them.

    A Docker container seems like overkill, it can be accomplished with a network namespace. There is a bit written about it here: https://volatilesystems.org/wireguard-in-a-separate-linux-network-namespace.html, though that doesn’t include how to set up the Wireguard config (which depends on the VPN).
