kha0s-tickler / freenas-transmission-openvpn

A script to easily set-up OpenVPN using VyperVPN on a FreeNAS Transmission Jail.

forked from ZeroInfinityXDA/freenas-transmission-openvpn

Converted script to use VyprVPN instead of PIA.

This script has been tested and works with TrueNAS-13.0

Setting up Transmission Jail

Create transmission jail by going to Plugins > Available > Transmission > Install and leave DHCP checked, do not touch anything else and press save.

Enabling TUN for the Jail

Go to Shell (FreeNAS one and NOT the jail one) and type in the command below:

iocage set allow_tun=1 transmission

Reboot FreeNAS.

Downloading and Running the Script

After reboot, go into the shell OF YOUR JAIL by clicking on the 3 dot menu next to your jail name (should be transmission) in the list.

Type the following commands:

cp /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/

pkg install git

git clone https://github.com/kha0s-tickler/freenas-transmission-openvpn.git

cd ./freenas-transmission-openvpn

sh freenas-transmission-openvpn.sh

Troubleshooting

If the script ran fine with no errors, but transmission torrents aren't downloading, and wget http://ipinfo.io/IP -qO - does not return an ip address, pihole may be interfering with it if you have one set up. In which case, you need to disable pihole (or whitelist ipinfo.io) and start the entire process from step 1 again.
