What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-29, confidence not recorded

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
