Doubts over Gluetun + QBitTorrent setup (lemmy.kde.social)

Hello! I'm trying to set up qbittorrent and gluetun using docker compose on my home server, using the free account of ProtonVPN.

on some posts I see that ports 8080, 6881 and 6881/UDP are open in gluetun. in the guide I followed instead only port 8080 is exposed. So I exposed port 8080 and it is not working. I launched the torrent of endeavourOS iso image (that my laptop (with the same vpn) downloads in a few minutes with plenty of peers and seeds at about 4Mb/s), and it downloaded at an EXTREME low speed (a few B/s) for a few seconds, and then got stuck at stalled. When it is stalled, the qbittorrent container has no internet access (ping linux.org fails).

So my questions are:

  1. Which ports do I need to open on gluetun? if I open 6881 wouldn't my IP be exposed bypassing gluetun?
  2. What's wrong with my setup? Why is internet connection so slow when there is, and why does it go away so often?
  3. Is this configuration secure? in case of gluetun fail, would my IP be leaked?

here's the two docker-compose.yml files:

version: "3"

services:
    gluetun:
        image: qmcgaw/gluetun
        container_name: gluetun
        cap_add:
            - NET_ADMIN
        environment:
            - VPN_SERVICE_PROVIDER=protonvpn
            - OPENVPN_USER=MYUSERHERE
            - OPENVPN_PASSWORD=MYPASSWORDHERE
            - SERVER_COUNTRIES=Netherlands
            - FREE_ONLY=on
        volumes:
            - ~/docker/gluetun/gluetun:/gluetun
        ports:
            - 8080:8080 # qBittorrent
        restart: unless-stopped

and

version: "3"
services:
  qbittorrent:
    image: linuxserver/qbittorrent:latest
    container_name: qbittorrent
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=Europe/Rome
      - WEBUI_PORT=8080
    volumes:
      - ~/docker/qbittorrent/config:/config
      - ~/docker/qbittorrent/downloads:/downloads
    network_mode: "container:gluetun"
    #ports:
    #  - 8080:8080
    #  - 6881:6881
    #  - 6881:6881/udp
    restart: unless-stopped

and here's some logs:

Port 8080 is where the Web-UI / Web-API is running. If you want to be able to upload data and not just leech you need to forward port 6881 (and probably also tell QBT to listen on that port)
