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. <br></div><div><br></div><div>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.

<p>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? <br>

<div>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.</div>

<div>I'd say launch openvpn via the cli in debug to see what

<div>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.</div>

with the vpn. I can't get openvpn or pptp to work. I
configured them <br>
using the same instructions I did on the host machine. When I
try to <br>
start a VPN connction(openvpn or pptp) on the guest machine,
the icon <br>
appears to show it's trying to connect, then it just stops
without <br>
offering any error message. In Virtualbox's settings for the
guest <br>
machine under network, I chose attached to NAT.<br>

Any ideas what I should do different?<br>
