Commit history shows only README.md updates since 2018.

There's been lots of changes implemented by users, myself included, but no PR merges from @MarkusMcNugen

Any suggestions on moving forward with a location where collaboration occurs? In my fork I've added ARM support. https://github.com/MarkusMcNugen/docker-qBittorrentvpn/pull/96 adds automatic restart on VPN failure. Both of these were hot topics and it would be great to get them out to everyone, from a central location.

I am not interested in being the sole maintainer, but would be willing to contribute my github action changes (ARM support) and help in other ways.

Well, the oldest pull request is Jan 2019 and the oldest unresolved issue is Oct 2018...

Over the weekend I discovered gluten by chance (https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun) so I may give that a go and then set up a torrent client only container rather than having them bundled together.

I still have issues with this container not re-establishing openvpn connections if they fail after 2-3 days of running. It's been an open issue for a while now.

Depending on how you are running your container, the work done in #96 seems to be helping some people. Unfortunately it's not been too helpful for me, running in Kubernetes, but does make me feel more secure... knowing that it isn't reconnecting w/o VPN.

Well I'm now using gluetun and qbittorrent from linuxserver and all seems to be working fine.

The additional advantage being that I can also route other containers over gluetun as well

Sounds cool, I'm going to look into it later!

Is this combination 100% secure so that there's never sent any request with my real IP? What if the VPN or gluetun fails?

Seems this isn't maintained... and I've moved on from using this as well. Following the suggestions provided here I'm now using a Docker Compose deployment with Gluten and qbittorrent with great success.
