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