Gluetun + qBittorrent: Full VPN vs Proxy

[EZ64cool 0]

Hey, just want to start with how much I love AirVPN, I've been a silent user for a little bit now and had zero issues with the service, so thank you 

This is a bit of a noobie question, but I currently have a working setup in docker where my qBittorrent is running inside the gluetun containers network.
My only "issue" with this is that it means the container name resolution doesn't work for any the qBittorrent instances inside gluetun, I'd also potentially like to route qBittorrent clients on a differnet PC through the VPN.

So my question is:
If I setup gluetun as a HTTP/SOCKS4/SOCKS5 proxy and have qBittorrent use it as a proxy for everything, will I get the same/similar security from IP leaks and data encryption as using the gluetun containers network?

My guess is not, but I'm hoping that I'm wrong. 😅

Thank you again
