Docker run config used

This is my docker compose file, in which I am trying to run qbittorrent through the VPN;

# docker-compose up --detach # Will start up this docker

        network_mode: "service:transmission-openvpn" # Test container IP; docker exec <NAME> curl -s https://api.ipify.org
        depends_on:
            - transmission-openvpn # Set dependency on transmission-openvpn Container

Current Behavior

After running the above I check qbittorrent for IP leaks by running https://ipleak.net/ Torrent Address detection. I see both my personal IP and VPN IP appearing, showing that there is a leak occuring.

However when I test via docker exec Qbittorrent curl -s https://api.ipify.org as described within https://haugene.github.io/docker-transmission-openvpn/tips-tricks/#let_other_containers_use_the_vpn, then it only shows my VPN IP.

Expected Behavior

I should only see the VPN IP in both tests

When the haugene's container is starting, connections are unprotected until openvpn is up. The firewall is not blocking/filtering outgoing connection. If qbittorrent is using service network at that moment, private ip will leak.

Three ideas to mitigate to evaluate:

• create a PR allowing blocking all connections but the vpn servers.
• have a check prior to start the qbittorrent client.
• block forwarding: sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=0
