Docker, Vpn, Sonarr Beginner Question - If I download a file to a location outside of my vpn routed container folder, will my ISP see it? (slrpnk.net)

Hey lemmy self hosting crew,

I've been setting up the arr suite via docker this week in my downtime and I configured sonarr and qbittorrent in docker containers routed through a gluetun vpn container. However, I mapped my download file location to my NAS, which is not behind a VPN. Alternatively, I could set it to my server machine's ~/Downloads folder, but again, afaik, this is not "within" the container's filesystem, it's just mapped to it via the docker-compose file, right?

Which brings my question, if I'm downloading to either of these locations, can my ISP see this occurring? Thanks everyone!

As long as you got qbittorrent behind a VPN, you should be good. You can do whatever you want with the file you downloaded on your local network, nobody will know.

this. You do not need sonarr behind gluetun vpn, just qbit.

I'd defer to someone who knows more, but afaik is soon as the bytes get within your local network, your ISP can't see a thing.
