I was going to use the built-in OpenVPN in TrueNAS until I found out it’s going to be deprecated.

I only really need it for the qbitorrent/transmission and prowlarr/jackett (haven’t decided yet) apps in TrueNAS, so I don’t know what the next best option is.

I have found plenty of documentation on how to use the integrated OpenVPN feature of TrueNAS, but since the announcement of it’s deprecation and future elimination is only ~2 months old, I haven’t found any new documentation yet on alternate methods.

I see stuff about tailscale but that doesn’t seem to be what I’m trying to do.

Thanks.

    For me this depends if you switch off any device in the year, for example, in my case when I’m on holidays usually out home, I switch off the proxmox server but I don’t switch off my router so, in my case I’ll choose to install in the router.

    Maybe you will ask why I switch off my proxmox and basically the answer is because if something fails and I’m not at home to solve it, I don’t want the server running wrongly until I’m back.

      Ah that makes sense. I plan to run this thing 24/7

        Then I’ll prefer to install in the router, usually maintenance is less and shortest in the router. If you stop the proxmox server or the truenas for maintenance, you will stop the VPN. In my case it will cause an issue to my family
