Why isn't it ideal? I'm currently using this setup with containers routed through a gluetun container connected to a vpn via wireguard, and it seems to be working fine. I've verified using curl inside the relevant containers to query an IP checker and I've also used a torrent IP checker to confirm my torrent client isn't leaking my IP.

I think he's saying that manually configuring all the containers (without this tool) isn't ideal.

Oh sure yeah it did suck 😁

Also the biggest benefit; You only need 1 VPN connection and 1 key pair for gluetun to connect everything. Most VPN providers limit the amount of active simultaneous connections. If you have lots of containers that need it then it's not possible
