Will Anderson 9cd3dd0134 gluetun: switch to protonvpn provider with port forwarding enabled
Custom WireGuard mode doesn't support NAT-PMP port forwarding — peers
can't connect inbound so most torrents stall. Switching to protonvpn
provider with SERVER_FEATURES=p2p picks a port-forwarding-capable server
and VPN_PORT_FORWARDING=on handles the NAT-PMP handshake. Up command
updates qBittorrent listen port automatically when gluetun gets the port.
