NordVPN

Overview

Commercial VPN (WireGuard protocol) used to tunnel all media automation traffic through Gluetun. Provides exit IPs for accessing geo-restricted content and obscures download source IPs from ISPs.

Key Facts

  • Protocol: WireGuard (via Gluetun container)
  • Provider: NordVPN
  • Purpose: All media stack downloads (Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr, Prowlarr, qBittorrent) route through VPN
  • Container: gluetun on ubuntu — acts as VPN gateway for media-net
  • Exit IPs: Shared NordVPN exit pool; not dedicated IP
  • Cost: ~$12/mo

All media automation sits behind Gluetun via Docker network media-net. Jellyfin (direct play) does NOT use VPN.
