Docker containers not able to pass through custom ports to WAN (issue seen with gluetun, likely docker-ce version related) #2301
Description
Describe the bug
This might be true for other containers, but issue is seen with using OrbStack to run gluetun and other docker containers that need custom ports exposed to WAN.
OrbStack v2.0.5 includes Docker v28.5.2.
Docker Desktop v4.55 (latest as of Jan 10, 2026), with Docker engine v29.x (maybe v29.1.3?) works fine with the same docker-compose.yml file that fails to allow outside connections in OrbStack v2.0.5.
To Reproduce
- Install latest OrbStack v2.0.5
- Configure and run docker compose file for gluetun + any container that needs a custom port through gluetun, e.g. qbit
- Unable to connect to peers or via the port manually
Expected behavior
gluetun should be able to allow connections through via custom ports.
