Slskd with ProtonVPN

I've seen a number of posts regarding pairing these two using Gluetun. Took me a few days to get it up and running but I've got it now, using the config.toml file with Gluetun. I run both Gluteun and Slskd in a docker compose stack.

I've also seen that people are having issues with Proton's port forwarding which again I thought I had addressed with the config.toml file for Gluetun's control server, but Proton seems to change it's forwarded port ridiculously often which interrupts any downloads. It also always seems to change right after I click on something to download. There is rarely enough time between port changes and subsequent reconnections to finish any download. There also doesn't appear to be any auto retry function in slskd despite what the docs say about adding it into the yaml config. It just throws errors and won't let me save the config.

So a few questions: what do you guys use and how do you configure it? Is a vpn necessary, because I've seen a number of posts saying it isn't.

Thank you!
