Qbit + VPN in truenas?

Submitted ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩ by ⁨Hiro8811@lemmy.world⁩ to ⁨selfhosted@lemmy.world⁩

I’m trying to figure out how can I install a VPN on truenas that hides my IP. I have tailscale running so I can remotely access Nextcloud and manage it doesn’t hide my IP. Wouldn’t really throught on using it but my country recently published a law to lick Big Corpo in the ass better, the fines are pretty big so that’s why I’m interested.

Can I install a commercial VPNs? Such as Proton VPN or Mulvad? Thought on installing a VM with a qbitorent and VPN but I don’t have enough RAM and I can’t upgrade it right now.

Platform: Truenas-scale

The Truecharts version of Qbittorrent has gluetun baked in as an option already. Initial configuration can be a bit of a pain depending on your VPN provider, but it seems to work beautifully once set up.

Gluetun

  Using gluetun to connect my containers to Mullvad I’m getting 60+% of my bare network speeds.
  
  Another option that doesn’t achieve that performance is torproxy which can achieve a similar result.

    I don’t think that’ll be a problem. I got a good CPU. The connection will is slowing me down

    Could be the VPN provider or the NAS (cpu)

    Check if your CPU usage is at 100%, its probably too much for your CPU just like mine. Getting 180-200 Mbps using gluetun and 320 without a VPN

I had someone help me set something similar up but I don’t remember the exact details. Something like making the qBit user unable to use any interface but the TUN.

  Yeah qbitorrent has this in their settings iirc.
  
  Do ifconfig before VPN, then after. Identify what your VPN connection is (likely TUN0). Then you tell qbitorrent to ONLY use the VPN one.
  
  That way if you suddenly lose VPN service it won’t fall back to your actual IP. (This is how the guy that hacked ubiquity got caught).

Truenas scale is just Debian isn’t it? You shouldn’t have any trouble with it, then. Though if you’re using other network stuff like tailscale I would determine how the two are going to work together.

Personally I run everything under docker (not on truenas scale though) and I recently switched to gluetun and it worked perfectly the first time.

  Truenas scale uses kubernets. Tailscale is more like a tunnel to my home servers so I can access the ports therefore the apps
