1 year agoTrash guides say you shouldn’t run the *arr’s through a VPN because you’re likely to get blocked by metadata servers. I only run my download client through the VPN + also use gluetun’s HTTP proxy for Prowlarr’s indexers
Sure, the docs are pretty minimal though: https://wiki.servarr.com/prowlarr/settings (just click on Proxy)
Basically you can configure a proxy (from your VPN provider for example) for each indexer (or font add a tag to apply it to all of them), and queries to indexers will run through there. This avoids Sonarr making calls to TVDB or whatever through the VPN and getting blocked.
