<p>Thanks for the advice. I'll have to do some more reading to
understand all that well enough to try it myself, and get some
cash together before I buy a computer that will support all that.</p>
<p>I have a Dell 32 bit dinosaur (wallace kubuntu 14) and this
computer (ladmo kubuntu 18 64 bit). I have apache2 on wallace so
I can share the occasional file with friends. Instead of taking a
short sound clip and making a video out of it so I can share it
with friends on facebook, I just put it on wallace and give them
the url. I also keep copies of my pictures and music collection
on wallace. So I have /var/www/html on wallace and the user
account on wallace mounted on ladmo via nfs. I also have an ssh
server on wallace so I can access it from ladmo and so I can
transfer files between my phone and wallace via sftp. I had
wallace connected to the router via the 100 mbit nic built into it
until Saturday when I found a gigabit nic in the cabinet where I
keep boxes of parts.</p>
<p>Good luck with your setup Michael. I would suspect nobody knows
what you're doing online except the CIA. :-)<br>

<div>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 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>For extra credit, I setup unbound to do encrypted dns to
cloudflare on it via some google tutorials, and I use zerotier

<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><br>
</div>
<div>I'd say launch openvpn via the cli in debug to see
what errors it's giving with the ovpn file.</div>

<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>

decided to try a virtual machine for bittorrent. The

runs kubuntu 14.04 with 4GB RAM. I've installed
virtualbox 5.2.18. The <br>
virtual machine is running lubuntu 18 and has 1GB
RAM. The problem is <br>
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>
<br>
Any ideas what I should do different?<br>
