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.

      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.

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

    Wait for the next month release of scale, it very surprisingly comes with jails. You install a Linux distro in a jail then run gluetun+qbit via docker

    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).

        I know about that setting, but this was different. It relies on Linux permissions. Like you have a dedicated ‘user’ for running qBit, and that user has no privileges for any network interface other than the VPN.

            Yeah that rings a bell. Weirdly I woke up this morning to an abuse complaint from my hosting provider after years of no issues.
