Gluetun	VPN gateway (NordVPN, Linux only)	—

Architecture

VPN Isolation

qBittorrent runs inside Gluetun's network namespace (`network_mode: service:gluetun`). All torrent traffic is routed through NordVPN via OpenVPN UDP. SABnzbd and all \*arr services use the normal network — no VPN overhead.

Hardlink-Compatible Storage

All services that handle files mount `./media` as `/data`. Downloads and the organized library share the same filesystem, so the \*arr apps can use hardlinks instead of copying files.
