Been having a frustrating but rewarding time setting up my first server with some advice from you all. Learned a lot and feel like I’m almost there with a lot of it. One thing I’ve really been struggling with is public indexers on Prowlarr. In the UK I can only access them behind a VPN but Prowlarr can’t access the rest of the suite if it goes behind Gluetun.
I feel like I’ve tried everything, it seems that I likely want to use the indexer proxy built into Prowlarr but I must be doing something wrong as it’s always refused or never resolves. I did read something about privoxy which I did try and look into but no success. Considered just leaving the whole thing for usenet but I’d just love to get some public trackers working successfully in the UK. Does anyone have any advice to someone still learning please?
Thanks all!

Containers sharing the same network (e.g. gluetun) should be able to see each other’s by their hostnames. Check out github.com/…/inter-containers-networking.md

Gluetun is great, but it does not work with docker swarm. I’m using a container running wireguard and Dante as a SOCKS5 proxy, everything that needs a VPN is on an internal overlay network and routes through the proxy container. Only the proxy container is part of the public network and all external traffic goes through the VPN. I use Traefik as a reverse proxy which is part of both the private and public networks. Meaning I can access the private containers (qbitorrent, prowlarr and sonarr) externally through Traefik but they cannot access anything outside the internal private network unless they route though the proxy container.
It’s not perfect but it works xD

The trash guides say to avoid putting the arrs through VPN so I only put the torrent client through. Is that what you do?

I am in the UK TOO, I use docker on a nas and I only have gluetun and qbittorrent using vpn, all my other containers (sonarr, radarr, bazarr, prowlarr) are kt behind vpn. What do you mean prowlarr cannot access the indexers? If you use the setting for the indexer you should be able to try different URLs for it, check if any of them works.
