Someone already has a project for that on GitHub. I haven’t tried it yet tho. The creator is also rewriting it to support other clients such as transmission and qbittorrent (v3 branch).

If you happen to use gluetun (great project btw) you can use the environment property VPN_PORT_FORWARDING=on and a volume mapping to /tmp/gluetun/forwarded_port to obtain the port number from the container. Then with the bittorrent-port-forward-file container (Link) you can automatically set the port from the file to qbittorrent.
I use this with ProtonVPN and it works like a charm.

Here the relevant parts of my docker compose file:

  gluetun:
    image: qmcgaw/gluetun
    <...>
    volumes:
      <...>
      - ./port-forwarding/forwarded_port:/tmp/gluetun/forwarded_port:rw
    environment:
      # See https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun/wiki
      <...>
      - VPN_PORT_FORWARDING=on
      - VPN_PORT_FORWARDING_PROVIDER=protonvpn

  qbittorrent-port-forward-file:
    platform: linux/amd64 #needed for raspi
    image: charlocharlie/qbittorrent-port-forward-file                           
    container_name: port-forward-file                                            
    depends_on:
      - qbittorrent
      - gluetun
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
      - ./port-forwarding:/config:ro
    environment:
      - QBT_USERNAME=
      - QBT_PASSWORD=
      - QBT_ADDR=gluetun:9092
      - PORT_FILE=/config/forwarded_port

The file containing the port number sits at ./port-forwarding/forwarded_port on the host (you may need to create the empty file before first usage).
