ProtonVPN verified on WireGuard, VPN setup hints prevent silent failures
Posted by tomspark
SparkBox 1.5.57 ships with full ProtonVPN support via WireGuard—I've personally verified that qBittorrent, Prowlarr, Sonarr, Radarr, and Bazarr all route correctly through ProtonVPN tunnels and resolve to their infrastructure. Both ProtonVPN and Surfshark are now labeled (tested) in the VPN dropdowns; other gluetun providers should work identically but I haven't hand-verified them yet. The big quality-of-life change: address hint fields now show per-provider defaults (Surfshark 10.14.0.2/16, ProtonVPN 10.2.0.2/32, Mullvad 10.64.0.2/32). This cuts down the silent "tunnel is up but traffic won't route" failures I was seeing from users who skipped their provider's config page. Affiliate links for both Surfshark and ProtonVPN are now clickable directly from the setup modals. What you'll see: - Clearer VPN provider labels on first install and in settings - Pre-filled address hints that match your provider's requirements - Direct signup links if you want to grab a VPN before configuring Head to the Updates tab in your dashboard to pull the latest.
