Use a VPN.
Do not recommend people to use random free VPN’s. You should pick your VPN provider carefully as all your traffic will flow through their servers.
Just out of curiosity, why bother running 4 instances of qBit for the various *arrs? Why not just use automatic torrent management, and have the different categories download to different folders? My *arrs are all using a single instance of qBit, and each service simply uses a different category with a different download path.
I started to become frustrated with the queue on a single qbit instance, I would set the max total of active torrents to 15; 10 active downloads and 5 seeding and it starts out fine but eventually those 10 active downloads all became stalled.
The amount of times I have had to open qbit to just move stuff down the queue so other things could download was obnoxious so I made 3 other instances for each *arr and it’s felt easier to manage.
Proton VPN claims to offer Port-Forwarding for their Wireguard router configs however, when I attempt to do it they don’t display the active port anywhere on their website.
Asus WRT Routers are great however, it doesn’t support certain Registrars for DDNS like Cloudflare so I had to install Merlin Firmware, ssh into the router and then manually configure a cron-job so that my A records stay up to date with my WAN.

Thankfully somebody already been down this path a posted the documentation which made things 100x easier.

Kind of a crude & simplified way of putting my setup but I think it gets the point across.
Just trying to see my phone bill man, I know I trusted those for some good reason.
It actually pairs quite nicely with uBlock.
another option is to have a browser that's used for these activities only.
Doesn’t help that my PiHole is also blocking these at a DNS level as well my network is all routed behind VPN tunnels.
Pretty much all telecom companies around me do this.
thank you for your service!
All about that FOSS!
