I'm currently running qbittorent and nord VPN on a VM to safely
torrent without getting yelled at by my ISP. I use the VM because I
cannot enable the VPN on the host it'self as it would cause various
connectivity issues. Is there a way to usse the qBittorrent container,
and have it use a VPN without the entire host utilizing the VPN?

I know the container uses the host's IP but can you use VPN only for a
specific port? Or do I continue using a VM?

I do have docker container with transmission and Gluetun.

Gluetun linked to PIA account which makes all transmissions traffic
routed via VPN.

This seems to do exactly that.
Two containers, a wireguard vpn connecting to a free cloud instance
that has wg-easy for easier wireguard config, and a qbit container
that uses the wg container's network, so its traffic will all go
through the vpn.
Been using for a while and works perfectly fine

I'm using this one [https://github.com/edgd1er/nordlynx-
proxy](https://github.com/edgd1er/nordlynx-proxy) to expose local
http/socks5 proxy.

You want gluetun. Easiest deploy is probably a docker compose file
with qbt and gluetun containers, with qbt using the gt container's
network.
