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!

    I have the opposite on my torrentbox. I only use it for torrenting with transmission-daemon. I have everything behind a vpn except my ssh port. Had to use iptables to separate it. I wonder if you can use iptables to make a separate network profile just for the torrent port and put everything else on the default network?
