I'm currently running qbittorent and nord VPN on a VM to safely torrent without getting yelled at by my ISP. I use the VM because I cannot enable the VPN on the host it'self as it would cause various connectivity issues. Is there a way to usse the qBittorrent container, and have it use a VPN without the entire host utilizing the VPN?

I know the container uses the host's IP but can you use VPN only for a specific port? Or do I continue using a VM?

As stated. I stood up about 8 containers using docker desktop. Eventually I realized Portainer would be more useful and they now have an app for iphone. Once I installed it, portainer has "limited access" to my containers because they were created outside of portainer. Is there a way to fix this or do I have to re-build these in Portainer?

​

If so, I have a few Docker containers that I need database data from that I really don't want to lose. Is there a way to back up the data, and then re-create the same container from a backup in Portainer?

Still new to docker.
