Hello people I have a Jellyfin server running on an Ubuntu laptop. But I am also using Mullvad VPN on that laptop for torrenting purposes. Is there a way that I can access the Jellyfin server from another computer in my home network and keep the VPN running at the same time?

    The biggest advantage is ease of setup and its recommended by many guides, especially if you are interested in *arr stack (google “servarr wiki” - next level torrenting).

    For VPN and torrenting, Id suggest switching to airvpn or any other that supports port forwarding (mullvad got rid of it recently).

    If you setup torrent client and VPN using gluetun container, you can hide trafic for torrents only (or whatever services you want). Then you can install wireguard server and use that to connect remotely to your jellyfin. At least I have it like that

      Thanks I’ll look into it, also what are the advantages of being able to do port forwarding via VPN?

      Also do you know any good tutorials on setting this stuff up as I have limited experience on containers and stuff?
