Thanks for the advice. I'll have to do some more reading to understand
all that well enough to try it myself, and get some cash together before
I buy a computer that will support all that.
I have a Dell 32 bit dinosaur (wallace kubuntu 14) and this computer
(ladmo kubuntu 18 64 bit). I have apache2 on wallace so I can share the
occasional file with friends. Instead of taking a short sound clip and
making a video out of it so I can share it with friends on facebook, I
just put it on wallace and give them the url. I also keep copies of my
pictures and music collection on wallace. So I have /var/www/html on
wallace and the user account on wallace mounted on ladmo via nfs. I
also have an ssh server on wallace so I can access it from ladmo and so
I can transfer files between my phone and wallace via sftp. I had
wallace connected to the router via the 100 mbit nic built into it until
Saturday when I found a gigabit nic in the cabinet where I keep boxes of
parts.
Good luck with your setup Michael. I would suspect nobody knows what
you're doing online except the CIA. :-)

I use transmission-daemon as a server on the vm with the vpn, and
connect to the server on port 9091 with a transmission-remote client
on your local lan workstation. The vpn should override your default
routing, and make sure to kill ipv6 as a sysctl too. I setup a dns
for the local server ip running the transmission server, and make it
available on a bridged interface to the rest of my lan. I use
stickshift on my phone to manage/view them then. I usually run squid
socks proxy on it too, using a proxy switcher on chrome as an
extension to flip between on and off use out that connection as well.
For extra credit, I setup unbound to do encrypted dns to cloudflare on
it via some google tutorials, and I use zerotier as a link all my
servers and clients into a local-ish lan vpn that I can access on
cell, work, public wifi, wherever really. Check them out at
zerotier.com <http://zerotier.com>.

I finally got the vpn working, but I'm having trouble with
bittorrent. So far I've tried Deluge. The next time I have time
to mess with it, I can try another bittorrent client. Michael,
which one do you use?

How are you configuring the openvpn connection? Using PIA vpn,
they give you an openvpn file to connect with, or at least did
last I set it up, and otherwise should just need the package
dependencies installed with openvpn.
I'd say launch openvpn via the cli in debug to see what errors
it's giving with the ovpn file.
Bridge or nat should be irrelevant, I've run mine both ways. You
should only need ports 1194 out to your VPN provider, you don't
need to port forward one back, and actually recommend you do NOT
unless you're wanting an openvpn server yourself to connect back
to. Mine works fine out via NAT.

I decided to try a virtual machine for bittorrent. The host
machine
runs kubuntu 14.04 with 4GB RAM. I've installed virtualbox
5.2.18. The
virtual machine is running lubuntu 18 and has 1GB RAM. The
problem is
with the vpn. I can't get openvpn or pptp to work. I
configured them
using the same instructions I did on the host machine. When
I try to
start a VPN connction(openvpn or pptp) on the guest machine,
the icon
appears to show it's trying to connect, then it just stops
without
offering any error message. In Virtualbox's settings for
the guest
machine under network, I chose attached to NAT.
Any ideas what I should do different?
thanks
