Ah, so essentially, you’re achieving a similar result to port-forwarding while still using Mullvad by the container forcing all qbittorrent’s connection to go through Mullvad. That’s actually a pretty ideal situation for me, I’d much rather keep using Mullvad if possible, I’ll have to go learn how all this works. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction

No, your VPN provider needs to offer port forwarding for that to work. You can still use qbittorrent without port forwarding, but it'll be harder to find peers which could lower your speeds
