OpenVPN Support with Container Killswitch #116

Closed drewwats closed 3 years ago

drewwats commented 3 years ago

I am interested in masking the requests going out to torrent/nzb sites via OpenVPN.

Desired Behavior

Similar to haugene/transmission-openvpn, container will not run if VPN is not successfully connected.

Current Behavior

Requests are sent without any obfuscation of IP address.

Alternatives Considered

Running VPN at a higher level is not feasible.

This is something we will not support.

drewwats commented 3 years ago

Wow, an impressively quick decline.

Roxedus commented 3 years ago

This gets brought up from time to time. It would create a support nightmare, which is not something we want to have. Nothing is stopping you form spinning up a openvpn client container, and route the traffic trough it.

@drewwats You are welcome to ask for help in the #other-support channel of our discord.

Plenty of people accomplish that by routing the connection through our wireguard container.

Thank you for the info and suggesting an alternative. It appears I should be able to use the transmission-openvpn container to create a proxy to pass Jackett through. That should be good enough.
