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.
