Comment on Proxying torrent traffic to homeserver

What you describe doesnt really make sense.
You want your vps to be the wireguard server, the local PC connects as a client this “proxies” your connection so torrent swarms see the IP of your vps.
If you want port forwarding it gets a bit complicated because you need to forward the vps port over wireguard, but this is optional so you dont have to worry if you can’t figure it out.
Caddy doesn’t really seem relevant unless you want to have a domain name that forwards to your home network.

I indeed have a domain name pointing to the VPS IP, with Caddy managing TLS. Other apps are exposed this way, and I will do the same for the qBittorrent WebUI as well. I like having Caddy as a single gateway where I can apply security configs and monitor all traffic, I was hoping I would be able to pass torrent traffic through it as well but everybody seems very much against it.
I already have wireguard setup as you describe so I guess I’ll just give up on passing torrent traffic through the proxies and just open a localhost port on the qBittorrent container…
