OpenVPN + Transmission(Jailed)

[MattLeach]

+1 me too. I would love a writeup.

I just wrote up the steps to run openvpn from the transmission jail and also how to use ipfw to prevent transmission from connecting to the internet if the vpn tunnel goes down:

I too use PIA and would love a write up using the username and password authorization. I'm stuck!!

I just set this up on my system. It was actually much easier than I had expected. I just installed OpenVPN from the ports tree inside my Transmission jail and setup the client config file and the autostart options.

I use Private Internet Access as my VPN server so what I did has some steps that are specific to that (mainly that they use username-pass auth instead of keys) but most of it should be applicable to other people. I will look into writing up a step by step guide when I have a bit of time later this week/next week.

We're you able to ever do this write up? I also use PIA.
