+Read from the running container 2026-10-21 (`podman inspect gluetun`, `podman ps`):
+
+* **`VPN_SERVICE_PROVIDER=custom` with `VPN_TYPE=wireguard`.** The provider is Proton VPN,
+   configured as *manual* WireGuard: the single-peer `WIREGUARD_*` names
+   (`WIREGUARD_PRIVATE_KEY`, `WIREGUARD_PEER_PUBLIC_KEY`, `WIREGUARD_ENDPOINT_IP`) are what
+   gluetun reads. `VPN_SERVICE_PROVIDER=protonvpn` is wrong here, and so is the plural
+   `WIREGUARD_PEERS_*` family — that shape belongs to a different gluetun major.
+* **One namespace, four names.** `searxng`, `searxng-valkey`, `marreta` and `marreta_browser`
+   join gluetun's network namespace, so `podman ps` prints the same published-port list against
+   all of them: `8081→8080` is SearXNG, `8082→8085` is Marreta's nginx, which moved off 8080
+   because SearXNG owns it inside that namespace.
+* **`FIREWALL_ENABLED_DISABLING_IT_SHOOTS_YOU_IN_YOUR_FOOT=on`.** The name is the warning:
+   turning it off sends the container's egress out the plain internet while every "VPN is
+   configured" check keeps passing — results then quietly come from the host IP.
+* **Health:** tunnel presence is `podman exec gluetun sh -c 'test -e /sys/class/net/tun0'`
+  (true on this box). gluetun ships no curl, so an egress-IP check needs a companion container
+  on its network — see [Verify the Route](#verify-the-route).
+
 ## Decisions That Matter
 
 - A SOCKS proxy keeps the per-engine control. Use Pattern 1.
 - Gluetun gives the cleanest full-tunnel setup. Use Pattern 2.
-- Mullvad ships its own WireGuard keys for Gluetun.
+* Copying an upstream example? Read the provider and env shape from
+   [Fleet instance on dankclaw](#fleet-instance-on-dankclaw) first: the mullvad-shaped block in
+   Pattern 2 is an illustration, not this fleet's config.
 - An OpenVPN-only provider works with Pattern 3 or 4.
