I’m trying to find out whether it is necessary to run an arr stack behind a VPN? Current stack consists of prowlarr, radarr, sonarr & flaresolver.

I have a separate stack with contains my VPN (gluetun) and qbittorrent.

I also have a third which contains Jellyfin and jellyseerr.

When I put my “arrs” in the same stack as my VPN I can’t connect to them using either the IP or “localist:xxxx”. As soon as they put them in their own stack everything works and talks to each other.

So is it safe if everything is outside of the VPN and I only have the download client behind it?

All is set up using docker compose in portainer and running on Ubuntu 22.04.
