HTTP Proxy/gluetun port forward

[jonyskids 0]

I have a docker swarm running a gluetun container. The logs show that I am getting an IP and the my port forward is open. I then have a second a container running with transmission. Due to the design of docker swarm it seems that I cannot  connect transmission directly to the gluetun container leaving me to connect to it via http proxy. In the transmission container I have set the peerport to my ford port#. I can also run curl ifconfig.io and it returns my airVPN ip. Netstat shows me that the forward port is open on both containers.

When I open the UI for transmission and go into preferences it says the port is closed and AirVPN shows it unreachable.

Suggestions?
