I want to run only qBittorrent through my VPN but with my current setup, I have a namespace for OpenVPN and qBittorrent runs entirely through it. The issue with that is that Sonarr and Radarr can't access it. Because of that, I would like to switch my setup to use a network interface instead. What would be the best way to do that?

Edit: I used this guide, with some changes to make it work on my setup, to set it up. I can also post my docker-compose file here if anyone's interested.

You run a gluetun container and a qBittorrent container on which you set the "network mode" to the gluetun container. Then you put your *arr software and the gluetun container in the same (virtual) network so they can communicate internally. All containers using gluetun as their "network mode" have their ports available on the gluetun container. You can also put the qBittorrent container in your virtual internal network but then you have to make sure that the network is marked as internal to avoid traffic leaking.
