yeah, but a simple web interface to manage it, on of etc, and then the torrent interface. That would be a nice tool. On Thu, Sep 20, 2018 at 1:48 PM Michael Butash wrote: > I've begun looking into dockerizing it a few times, others have done them > separately, always the scripting and

I've begun looking into dockerizing it a few times, others have done them separately, always the scripting and networking seem problematic as needing to spawn openvpn inside of it, and allow multiple inbound socket translations to the local servers. I've cloned my instance a few times to make

This would be a fascinating docker container idea. On Thu, Sep 20, 2018 at 1:00 PM Michael Butash wrote: > The VM is pretty lightweight, I give it 2 cores and 2gb of ram, though > looking it's only using 102m of ram with everything running, but my current > pc is loaded with ram, so I don't

The VM is pretty lightweight, I give it 2 cores and 2gb of ram, though looking it's only using 102m of ram with everything running, but my current pc is loaded with ram, so I don't much split harirs these days. -mb On Thu, Sep 20, 2018 at 2:49 AM Jim wrote: > Thanks for the advice. I'll have

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

Today I tried one last time before giving up.  I installed kubuntu 14.04 on a virtual machine.  I configured the vpn and connected.  Then I launched ktorrent and opened the ubuntu 18.04 torrent.  It immediately connected to 119 seeders out of 3052. Download speeds varied between 2.75 and 4

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? On 09/18/2018 11:35 AM, Michael Butash wrote: How are you configuring the openvpn

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

Is the network connection working without the VPN? Yep... Can the host box see port 1194? Can the virtual box see port 1194? Is that the port that server is configured at? ET Bob Elzer writes: Is the network connection working without the VPN? On Mon, Sep 17, 2018, 10:57 PM Jim wrote:

Hi Jim I recommend the network bridge so all traffic will go direct to the NIC with it's own IP, but I openVPN quite often using both bridge and NAT I use nat when not at home and have to to use a single wifi on the host the only difference is in nat the host will provide a internal ip which is

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
