I’ve actually had to deal with this very recently. My setup is via docker-compose and the way to solve it was to have an OpenVPN container with its own network defined. Then, in the same compose file I’d put qbittorrent in the same network as the VPN. That way all of the services go through my normal network but qbittorrent can only go through the VPN’s network.

True, but the caveat is that we have no way of knowing what that reality looks like other than through our interpretation of it. We can’t do anything about “true reality” because we have no way of proving anything about it without relying on said thoughts. Like for example, we really like the scientific method for “proving” reality, but it only works assuming that the “true reality” follows the same logical principles we adhere to. Is there really a cause-effect sense in “true reality” or is it just our biased interpretation that the universe follows natural logic rules?
