Does anyone know the best way to route traffic from transmission through Mullvad?

I have transmissionset up on my plex server which I control using tranmission remote and want to download my Linux ISOs with privacy.

I have downloaded the wireguard config and can connect to it using wg-quick, but I don’t want all traffic going through it, only transmission.

    Consider moving from mullvad if you are into torrenting. Mullvad doesnt support port forwarding anymore. But no matter what provider you chose, use docker container gluetun to route traffic from any other container (like transmission). I like transmission, but most people use qbittorrent because its more advanced. You can also set up VPN in qbittorrent settings

    I personally shove Transmission into Docker:

    services:
  wireguard:
    image: ghcr.io/linuxserver/wireguard
    container_name: wireguard
    cap_add:
      - NET_ADMIN
      - SYS_MODULE
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=Europe/Stockholm
    ports:
      - 9091:9091/tcp
    volumes:
      - ./config:/config
      - /lib/modules:/lib/modules
    sysctls:
      - net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=0
      - net.ipv4.conf.all.src_valid_mark=1
    restart: unless-stopped
  transmission:
    image: ghcr.io/linuxserver/transmission
    container_name: transmission
    ulimits:
      nofile: 1048576
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=996
      - TZ=Europe/Stockholm
      - USER=azurediamond
      - PASS=hunter2
    volumes:
      - ./config:/config
      - /data:/data
      - /data/Torrents/dl:/downloads
      - /data/Torrents/inbox/start:/watch
    network_mode: "service:wireguard"
    depends_on: [ "wireguard" ]
    restart: unless-stopped

    Make sure your mullvad config is called wg0.conf in ./config.
