Running Prowlarr behind VPN

Post by atomic_echo »

Hi,
My ISP blocks a number of indexers, so I have put prowlarr behind a vpn, as in your helpful post. The problem is that when I do this, it is no longer able to connect to radarr and sonarr, using http://radarr:7878 and http://sonarr:8989. Instead I have to put the full ip addresses for radarr and sonarr as shown in portainer - and this changes everytime I restart the containers. Is there a way around this?

Hey @atomic_echo!

Not that I know of, other than moving Sonarr/Radarr to the VPN network as well, but that's kinda overkill. If you find another solution, please let us know! That's a question that has been moving around the Discord a lot hehe.

Cheers!

Ok - thanks for the quick response - I have been struggling to find a way for ages, and thought there might be something easy that i was missing. If I come up with anything I will post it.
