VPN client in a thin Docker container for multiple VPN providers, written in Go, and using OpenVPN or Wireguard, DNS over TLS, with a few proxy servers built-in. - GitHub - qdm12/gluetun: VPN clien...
I use gluetun to route traffic from some of my containers that need a VPN. qBittorrent, Jackett etc. Some containers dont have the option to configure a proxy so you'd have to setup a VPN client within a container which isn't ideal. With gluetun its easy to attach a container to it and it just works
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.
What's the use case?

Good point about Jackett! I had only set up qbittorrent to use vpn.
Neat. I never need a VPN for more than a few days at a time, but if I ever sub to one long term I'll keep this in mind.
