I need guidance on how to setup a VPN so that I can torrent. I thought I would setup openvpn but I’m confused on how to start the client or install it. Can someone point me in the right direction?

for what is my recent experience, dont use openvpn… install wireguard in a jail and enojoy your VPN in 15-30 minutes [image] How-To: Setup a Wireguard VPN Server in a Jail Resources This resource was originally created by user: FreeVel on the TrueNAS Community Forums Arc…

For my application I’m not trying to spin up a sever. But instead use a client that would connect to commercial\free vpn server. I would like to run my network traffic through protonVPN. But there isn’t a guide for doing so on core and most documentation is about making a server.

sorry i misunderstood your request. Have u alredy read this? TrueNAS and OpenVPN client configuration Here is a short tutorial to configure the OpenVPN client on TrueNAS 12.0. Prerequisite: an OpenVPN server running with a similar configuration: I'm sure other configurations work as…

You’d essentially create a qBittorrent jail, install the packages (qbittorrent-nox and wireguard-tools), and then use a Proton-provided WireGuard config file . (They might say “GNU/Linux”, but they wor…

This is the way (winnielinnie’s suggestions). I like to add a little ipfw ruleset on the guest to only allow the qbittorrent user to communicate over the VPN interface and to the local network, so it doesn’t work when the VPN is down. Proton is good. Mullvad is good too. Many of the other VPN prov…

Would you please be so kind to point me to a guide how this could be accomplished in the latest version of scale? Just like OP, I have a paid protonVPN account and would like to route qbittorrent through it
