Hello everyone! I recently bought 2 ConnectX-3 cards to improve file transfer speeds between the PC and the "server", but i don't really know how to set it up correctly. Current setup looks like this: What i need is: 1) PC, Server and the Router should be in one network; 2) PC and Server should use 40GbE for transfers between each other; 3) When accessing the internet - they both should use 100Mbit link through the router; 4) Currently, both PC and Server are also connected through SoftEther VPN server hosted on a remote VPS. I wonder if i can set something up, so if some "service" is hosted on the Server - at least the requests made from the PC (in that SoftEther network) would go straight to the Server, and not to VPS and back. I thought "Local Bridge" would do that, but didn't work out as i expected. That link through the VPN is here because i need remote access to both the PC and the Server. I also have Navidrome using that virtual network for broadcasting to remote devices. Any advice and/or instructions on how i'd have to do all of this?

Been using nordvpn for the longest time. But thinking about making a change if the price is right. Dont remember if LTT has been sponsored by any lately, so anyone has good recos that I can have a look at? Brownie points if I can get it to work on the Surface Pro X. Using Open VPN on that and it's sluggish AF

TLDR: Can I use Tailscale to access a remote Unraid NAS to back up my Home Unraid NAS and access the remote LAN's Windows Shared Network through a VM on the Remote Unraid NAS. If so, does anyone have any guides or experience doing this? I have a new Unraid server built that I want to use as an offsite backup. This will be placed at my mother's house. I want to also be able to access her networked computers and devices (with her permission of course). The main reason to access her computer is to help maintain her picture library. She goes nuts taking pictures with her phone, emailing them to herself and then creating an exponential number of folders to "organize" her pictures. This usually occurs because she'll download the zip file from gmail, but then every time she wants to look at the pics she extracts them....every time. So there are nested folders all over the place on her PC. I'm sure you all have dealt with this. After spending a weekend onsite fixing this for her I vowed to never do so again by checking in on her PC every now and then and fixing it, then pointing her to a photo library she can be confident in. Tailscale seems to be a the newest hotness and I'm hoping it can be used in this solution so port forwarding, weird DNS stuff and all that is not required. Would I be able to set up Talescale so that: My Home Unraid server can be connected to Mom's Unraid server for period backups of documents, pictures and other valuable data using rsync. Pretty sure this is possible but I haven't found any guides for doing it on Unraid. In order to access her networked computers file systems with out using remote desktop (I don't like it and will freak her out if I just take over her PC) I was thinking of setting up a Windows VM on the remote Unraid box and using that access her shared network files. Is this doable with Tailscale? If this was set up properly would I be setting up a VPN connect between my Windows PC and the VM? Or would I access the Unraid box through Tailscale then run the VM through the VM Console(VNC). Would I then have access to her network since that VM should be on that local area network? Does that make sense? Am I making this too difficult? I know remote desk top would work but I also want to play around with Tailscale and VPNs to learn more about them. Thanks!

Hi everyone, After building and setting up my first TrueNAS server, I'm running into a problem. Because of space constraints i cannot have the server at home e.g. not on my local network. I do have a WireGuard server running on my UDR at home. I therefore want to add the TrueNAS server as a client using the TrueCharts WireGuard app (Although I am open to other suggestions). The problem I'm running into is this: Unable to attach or mount volumes: unmounted volumes=[configfile], unattached volumes=[varlogs varrun configfile devshm shared tmp]: timed out waiting for the condition From this I deduct that the .conf file can't be attached, but I cannot figure out why. My .conf filepath in the app configuration is: /mnt/Middle\ Earth\ ONE/VPN/wg.conf which should be the right path since: admin@truenas[~]$ cd /mnt/Middle\ Earth\ ONE/VPN admin@truenas[/mnt/Middle Earth ONE/VPN]$ ls wg.conf admin@truenas[/mnt/Middle Earth ONE/VPN]$ Hope one or more of y'all can help me

In the past week I was using tailscale but the speed is so slow, is there a better alternative? Easy software to setup with faster connections. connections that would be reach my internet speed limit (about 50Mbps download, 10 upload)

Rookie to Networking and VPNs right here I would like to set up a VPN for added privacy/ad blocking, but rather than installing and connecting on multiple devices I'd like to try and use the VPN on my entire home network. Plus it just sounds like a fun project to work on in my free time My first thought was to add a VPN hardware device between my ONT and Gateway AP. I found some resources online and this guide for setting up a Raspberry Pi as a VPN router. It seems doable, but I wanted to ask this comminty if anyone has experince doing something like this. What did you do? How was the setup/configuring? Happy with the results? In case anyone is insterested or if there is a better option for what I want, I have attached a quickly made disagram below of what my network looks like as well. I am open to any and all suggestions! Thanks everyone!

Hi Community, I´m getting some issues recently while trying to play Dayz again. While trying to connect i´ll get the error 0x00010001 which means that the host is not reachable, but with VPN connection everything works. So it has to be a problem with my settings. I tried to set up another DNS 8.8.8.8 & 1.1.1.1 instead of my pihole. I tried to open ports (set up a wildcard) for testing in my pfsense. I have uninstalled my surfshark vpn (sometimes they do cause the issue) and now I don´t have any idea left to check. Mostly I run an proxy to cloudflare for my whole network, but I disabled it for the testing. Has anyboby an idea what I could do next? Thx a lot

Hi everyone, first time poster, long time reader. Thanks for all the various knowledge bits I've gathered pre-creating an account. The scenarios/problems by priority that lead me to believe we need a VPN We have Starlink in Sierrea Leone, connected to a UDM-Pro, because of how Starlink works in that area it appears as if and thinks it's in Nigeria. Hence the UDM-Pro and subsequently all the devices connected to it appear the same. Our accounting software does not work connected to this network and they do not allow whitelisting IPs for more than 30 days. Some countries during school exam times and sometimes as their government sees fit will block messaging and other services such as Whatsapp, Slack, etc. Users have been finding success using trail periods with the popular VPN services. Proton, Nord, Express, etc. User Device Security - this has not been a focus but is becoming one as our user base grows and best practices become less common knowledge. Details: User base - individuals from first time laptop holders, yes holders, to myself with a framework running Fedora. Most folks are in the middle PC Hardware - 0-4 year old Lenovo laptops, minimum 16gb ram, all ssds Phone Hardware - Organization issued - Pixels and Samsung A51, for dual sim purposes No personal PCs will get access Personal Phones - usual mix of Apple and Android most likely all 0-5 years old. Networking Hardware - 90% of our job sites have a UDM-Pro on them powered by Starlink including our headquarters which has a fiber connection to the local ISP Number of active VPN users - assuming we tackle problems 1 and 2 the number would be low maximum 10 simultaneous users Money - We could of course just get a subscription for everyone to one of the popular VPN services but is that the best use of our money? We have quite a bit of networking equipment deployed already and we'd prefer to pay to get that working on our own than pay a subscription service forever, especially since usage will fluctuate. A user may travel for 7 days out of a year, assigning them a subscription seems wasteful and shifting accounts around isn't something we are staffed to manage. Ideally we can invest in ourselves. Thanks so much in advance for anyone's thoughts and recommendations.

I'm currently in Argentina but am from the US and since I have accounts (e.g. banking) that often don't work outside of the US or on known commercial VPN IPs, I set up a wireguard VPN server on an old DDWRT router at a friend's house in the US, so that there would be zero issue with accessing any accounts (barring power or internet outages). It was working really well for the first few weeks, until a couple days ago. My friend starting texting me screencaps showing ad suggestions on his Youtube app in Spanish and recommendations for Spanish-language youtubers. The location settings in his Youtube app were constantly being switched to Argentina, and google searches on all their devices showing content and search results relevant to my location in Buenos Aires. What was frustrating is that Google continued displaying Spanish-language results while logged into a google account that was specifically set to English. But probably the most problematic thing was when my friend's partner was unable to access certain content for work, due to data wrongly suggesting their location as being in Argentina. I stopped using the VPN and we since have unplugged it/disabled the port forwarding entirely. We now realize that somehow Google reassociated the entire public IP as being in Buenos Aires, I think because when I was using the VPN, my devices were the only ones that had precise location services enabled. So I'm thinking Google took this information and eventually applied it to the public IP.. which is insane and mind-boggling. Precise location should not override an IPs geolocation if the precise location is clearly in a foreign country - I get that public IP address does not pinpoint your location, but ffs google. Is my assessment most likely correct here? In hindsight my main concern with the VPN was ensuring that I'm not using too much bandwidth, because the upload speeds on my friend's end is only 11-12 Mbps (thanks cable ISP). I never anticipated it would completely override their location settings with Google. Modern internet sucks.

Hello! I want to access my home PC remotely, from an IPad. To achieve this I have my router acting as a openvpn router, then after connecting to the VPN, I send a Wake On Lan package and then I can access my computer with the windows built in remote desktop function. If I directly connect to my home network everything works fine. But if I want to connect through my VPN the Wake On Lan doesn’t work. If the computer is already on I can connect using VPN + remote desktop. Why does the WOL fail, what can I do to fix it?

hey guys, so im trying to set up my own vpn network for home / personal ive got the vpn network running and it works through the openvpn client but when trying to install / connect through my router i get an issue where it dosent think that my .ovpn file is valid, not custom at all, stright from the server export. it just isnt saying its valid, when looking therugh my syslog on the router i get the log issue of OVPN: Unrecoginzed or unsupported option: [tls-crypt-v2] i have no idea how to fix this issue, if someone could give me a hand as looking it up has given me no results. im useing a aimesh network of two asus routers the main router is a RT-AX56U i have no idea if its a firmware issue or if its a me issue. anything will help at this point. scratch that, apprently im just blind, there is a toggle for v2 on the export page.... sorry

Howdy! I'm looking to setup a minecraft/vpn server on proxmox which will be running on a 4 core i5 either 3rd gen or 4th gen I can't remember. But i'm curious if that will be enough cpu for running the vpn with up to 4 conncurent clients and the minecraft server with two clients all at the same time? the ram is 8gbs and I plan to allocate 2gbs to the VPN and 4 to the minecraft server.

Howdy! I'm planning a NAS build and I already have the parts and software picked out. I want to run proxmox so I can use VMs or containers for whatever I'm needing. I'm curious if it'll work just fine to run a VPN on a container and then then TrueNAS on another VM but be able to Port forward the NAS and at the same time make it so no one can access the NAS unless on my VPN. This all makes sense in my head but let me know if I'm missing something. My plan is also to have the VPN only protect the devices I allow and it won't be network wide. The only device that will be on it is my home server. If you need to know, the primary hardware will be: i5 12600k 32Gbs RAM 1tb boot ssd

Hi all So for context. I have a basic linode virtual private server. On the is installed openvpn, pihole & nginx reverse proxy. At home on proxmox an ubuntu server with linux, openvpn client & jellyfin installed. It can work well for streaming but...... Sometimes I wish to save data on my phone and use free public wifi. Sometimes they block the use of a VPN which is annoying. So what I want to do: Setup dynamic DNS so my phone has a specific domian name. This is whether I am using wifi or my phone data. It is an android phone. On the virtual private server: Open up a port, say TCP 433, as I understand is quite unblockable if you wish to do use web traffic on a public wifi to access the VPS. Block all access to the port EXCEPT from the domain name of the phone. I know there are things like failtoban and such, but want extra security. Useful pointers appreciated. Thanks

Sorry if my terminology is off, but I am looking for a consumer-grade router that can allow me to create an SSID that runs through a VPN (PIA) and a separate SSID that is 6GHz only. Not looking to break the bank, not sure where to look online. Sorry if I'm posting in the wrong area. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there, I'm having trouble navigating the VPN space. Can anyone give me some advice? The Problem We are a small business and want to setup a VPN router - primarily for our remote users to access our NAS. We have 10 remote users. The Question Is there a free VPN program we can download so that we can connect our remote users? (We would install this on our router, I'm assuming? Are there other ways to do this? More info would be greatly appreciated!) Note We know we can setup our NAS to accept remote users. I'm making another post for that. If you say OpenVPN, can you also elaborate if we can add more than 2-3 remote users for free? I hope this isn't too much to ask!

Hi! I work at a studio and I have to download large files from their server everyday. I am WFH and just upgraded to 1gb internet. My speeds are great on and off the VPN I use when using Speedtest or downloading games from steam. These files I am downloading though only download at around 20mbs and I have no idea why. I have been told there should be no limit from the server and that my trace routes all check out and nothing seems out of the ordinary in regards to all of that. Any ideas or direction would be amazing!

Hi all. Does anyone know how to stop this Google boo hoo we can't track you bullshite? Everyday several times when I open my browser and search I have to do a damn recaptcha I'm guessing because I'm behind a VPN and they don't like it. Short of not using the VPN (not an option I want to stay behind it) how do I stop all the recaptcha garbage?

Summary "A security researcher" "has uncovered evidence that Swing VPN includes code allowing its controller to functionally operate app clients as a botnet capable of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks". Quotes My thoughts Since LMG doesn't want to create a VPN, maybe it's time for everyone to create their own VPN, because "trusting" these companies was never an option and now it's not just a matter of our own privacy, apparently. Hope it gets covered on WanShow! Sources https://www.androidpolice.com/malware-android-vpn-ddos-botnet/

Hello, im new to Unraid (recently coming from Truenas) I understsnd most functions of a server and can easily follow guides. But I having multiple failures with dockers such as Nexcloud/Mairadb, Tailscale, DelugeVPN. In all cases the docker web GUI does not respond even on local network) My main objective is to achieve remote access to the server GUI and Nextcloud (or any cloud) I followed the following guides and everything worked perfectly except it won't open in browser: Priority #1 Tailgate: Guide Alternative to Tailscale: DelugeVPN: Guide (this is not necessary if I can get Tailgate to work) Would very much so appriciate some guidence. Tailscale version: 1.42.0 Linux Unraid - 6.12.0 Ping fail from PC (on same network to Tailscale IP) Can Ping from server to Tailsclale IP

Hello everyone, I recently got an AX6000. I saw that it has a feature that you can enable VPN and have some devices to use the VPN while other use the normal Internet connection. The problem I have is that as soon as I enable the VPN profile, "assign to all devices" is disabled , and I also assigned one of the Guest WiFi to use, my laptop is using the VPN connection instead of the normal one. My understanding is that since the ISP is set as primary, and since the profile is assigned to a Guest WiFi network, only if I connect to that wifi I should be routed to the VPN profile. If I use the "normal" WiFi I should be routed through the normal ISP. Is my understanding incorrect or is there some other configuration that I need to do? The documentation does not have anything else. Firmware Version: 3.0.0.4.388_23285 the vpn is Nord openvpn Any ideas? Thanks

I'm looking for recommendations for what is best to set up to access my data remotely from Truenas core From my research so far I see others using options such as: ZeroTeir NextCloud Wireguard Tailscale What is best to set up, affordable pricing, ease of set up, a good mobile app etc I also see that something like Tailscale might be better with Truenas Scale using Truecharts
