Mullvad breaking nginx (sh.itjust.works)

Hi. I have been downloading Debian images through i2p, but because of the limited selection of Debian isos available on i2p I decided to get Mullvad to download them on the clear web (and add them to i2p of course.) I use a dedicated server for i2p, jellyfin, and nginx. When I added Mullvad and qBittorrent, Mullvad started proxying connections for nginx, breaking it. Does anyone know how to make Mullvad only proxy qBittorrent and nothing else, or at least not proxy nginx?

I have tried adding the 5 ish pids for nginx to the mullvad split tunnel, but even then it doesn’t work. The only option I can think of right now is to either run mullvad and qbit in one docker container or run nginx on a separate machine. I have no idea how to do the docker thing and don’t want to buy new stuff for this. Are there any other options or does anyone know how to do the docker thing?

Could you explain how or refer me to a guide? I can't find anything on how to do this and am not good with docker.

It takes some time to figure out, but basically you need to:

Install docker and docker-compose
Install portainer (optional, but my recommendation. Its docker app that provides simple GUI to manage all other docker containers)
Create docker-compose with configuration for qbit and gluetun, then load it in portainer using stacks (look for examples on google or aks again when you get to this part)
Done

Alternative is just setting VPN in your existing qbittorrent. Never tried that, but you should set everything using qbittorrent settings I suppose
