Indy1204 Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Hello. I'm looking for the simplest way to setup unRAID to run through a VPN. (NordVPN specifically if that matters.) Has anyone done this and can point me in the right direction? Thanks Quote Link to comment
JonathanM Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Please clarify what you wish to accomplish. VPN's can be used in several different ways, so spelling out your goals will go a long way to letting us know how to help you. Quote Link to comment

VPN's can be used in several different ways, so spelling out your goals will go a long way to letting us know how to help you. Sure thing. I was wondering about using OpenVPN in two different ways. First being to install a docker or plugin that I could configure to use with NordVPN. With this example I would like to route all traffic through the VPN. The other option would be to use OpenVPN only with NZBget, and everything else ignores the VPN. Ideally this would be something that once configured I can turn on or off without much trouble. Does this help? I can try and provide more information if required. Thanks P.S. I only mention OpenVPN because its the only client I've seen mentioned around the forums. If there is another way I am open to it. Quote Link to comment
tdallen Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 It sounds like you want to use the VPN for outbound traffic from your server to the internet. I don't think there is a generic solution to this yet that would cover all traffic. Instead, use the excellent binhex Dockers with built in VPN and privoxy support. They're available via the equally excellent Community Applications plugin. Quote Link to comment
aptalca Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 The ultimate solution is to replace your router with pfsense. I recently did this and all of my internet traffic (with a few exceptions) go through pia vpn. The exceptions are the media streamers because Netflix blocks most vpns. Short of that, you can use binhex dockers for vpn based apps Quote Link to comment
mcjfauser Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Hey OP, how did you go? I'm looking to run Sonarr, Radarr, Headphones, SABnzbd and such through a VPN on unRAID for OUTBOUND. Are all of these available through binhex? Quote Link to comment

What hardware and software would I need? Does the type of connection I have matter (NBN in Australia)? Quote Link to comment
