I have a pia account and have used it in the past as a proxy but not as a VPN . I want to setup a VPN so that I can send traffic from one jail out through a different jail that is running a VPN. I have a PIA account and have used it in the past as a proxy but not as a VPN. I've been trying to find somewhere where there is an example of someone doing this but have found it hard to find any good examples. If I wanted to be able to do this using only FreeNAS, what would probably be the best way?
Part of the reason I ask is because I have seen people recommending not to use PF with FreeNAS. Is that a recommendation because PF is more of a hardware device, or is that a recommendation to not connect jail that all using a firewall?
I have found people talking about making an OpenVPN jail and then using ipfw to send the traffic to the VPN jail from the other jail I want secured. Should the OpenVPN just be set up like any other VPN? I want use the VPN not to access my computer but only to send my data out anonymously for things such as torrenting. I am not too familiar with VPNs and was wondering, is there a difference between setting OpenVPN up so that you can have access from another location to your LAN and setting it up so that your traffic seems anonymous? If I setup a VPN to stop people from knowing my IP, what is there that stops them from using the VPN to access my LAN?
