A Docker image that bundles the Transmission BitTorrent client with an OpenVPN tunnel, so torrent traffic only runs when the VPN is active. It includes a WebUI and built-in configuration presets for many popular VPN providers.
Use cases
- run a torrent client behind a VPN in docker
- transmission with openvpn kill switch
- self-hosted torrenting with webui
- route bittorrent traffic through a vpn provider
- docker container that stops torrents when vpn drops
When to choose
- you want Transmission traffic forced through an OpenVPN tunnel
- your VPN provider is among the supported presets (e.g. PIA)
- you prefer a single docker run or compose setup
When to avoid
- you use WireGuard-only VPN setups
- you want a different torrent client like qBittorrent or Deluge
- you cannot grant the container NET_ADMIN/privileged access
