Networking & VPN

AniBridge no longer supports the legacy in-app outbound proxy (PROXY_*).

Only external routing is supported:

• host/system VPN
• Docker VPN sidecar (for example Gluetun)
• external network-layer routing or firewall policy

Recommended Setup

Use a VPN sidecar and share its network namespace with AniBridge.

services:
  gluetun:
    image: qmcgaw/gluetun:latest
    ports:
      - "8000:8000/tcp"

  anibridge:
    image: ghcr.io/zzackllack/anibridge:latest
    network_mode: "service:gluetun"
    environment:
      - ANIBRIDGE_HOST=0.0.0.0
      - ANIBRIDGE_PORT=8000

Public IP Monitor

AniBridge can periodically log the active public IP so you can verify egress.

PUBLIC_IP_CHECK_ENABLED=true
PUBLIC_IP_CHECK_INTERVAL_MIN=30

Set PUBLIC_IP_CHECK_INTERVAL_MIN=0 to disable checks.
