This is what I do but with qbittorrent and ProtonVPN. Just put the port details in the gluetun section and in the qbittorrent section put in network_mode: "service:gluetun". Works just fine so far for me.

That's a pretty nice looking site. Glad to see some alternatives to subreddits I visited often available between fediverse and discord.

Thanks for sharing!

I can't find a setting in the app myself but if you go on the website to the instance you're registered on and go to settings, there's a blocks tab you can then go an unblock from there.
