ProtonVPN Wireguard Port Forwarding

[aaronmee]

Hi,
I'm using gluetun to run qBittorrent behind a protonvpn connection. I'm using wireguard and wanted to forward a port using gluetuns port-forwarding mechanism. At the beginning it worked, but now I'm getting a connection refused message from my tracker.
My question is: Does port forwarding only work with openvpn (as the api call v1/openvpn/portforwarded suggests), or should it work with wireguard as well without issues?

Docker-compose file (without qBittorrent part):

---
services:
  gluetun:
    image: qmcgaw/gluetun
    container_name: gluetun
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - '8010:8000/tcp'
      - '8080:8080'
    cap_add:
      - NET_ADMIN
    volumes:
      - /etc/wireguard/wg8.conf:/gluetun/wireguard/wg0.conf:ro
    environment:
      - VPN_SERVICE_PROVIDER=custom
      - VPN_TYPE=wireguard
      - VPN_PORT_FORWARDING=on
      - VPN_PORT_FORWARDING_PROVIDER=protonvpn

System:

• Ubuntu Server 22.04
• Docker version 26.0.0
• VPN Provider ProtonVPN
• VPN Protocol Wireguard

The port forwarding works when the container is newly created, only after some days it stops working. But I already moved to hotio containers, as those have built-in vpn support, but thank you
