Config-Freenas-transmission-OVPN

Collection of my configs for a working Freenas jail with transmission and OpenVPN

Create Freenas Transmission Plugin

• Use GUI to create, use VNET and set static IP, remember to select allow_tun = 1,
• Full configuration of the iocage jail is in config.json
• Add storage, jail path /media , Freenas path /mnt/disk/Downloads

Install OpenVPN in jail

jls
jexec <Transmission_jail_id>
pkg update
pkg upgrade
pkg install bash openvpn wget

Edit /etc/rc.conf

transmission_download_dir="/media"
openvpn_enable="YES"
openvpn_configfile="/usr/local/etc/openvpn/openvpn.conf"
firewall_enable="YES"
firewall_script="/usr/local/etc/ipfw.rules"

Get OpenVPN config and edit it

• I'm using NordVPN so connect to https://nordvpn.com/servers/tools/ and copy the link of the UDP configuration
• create file for username and password

mkdir /usr/local/etc/openvpn
cd /usr/local/etc/openvpn
wget <config_link_from_provider>
cp <name_downloaded_conf> openvpn.conf
touch nordvpnauth.txt
vi nordvpnauth.txt

• edit /usr/local/etc/openvpn/openvpn.conf

-dev tun
+dev tun2

+redirect-gateway

-auth-user-pass
+auth-user-pass /usr/local/etc/openvpn/nordvpnauth.txt

• fix problem with tunnel interface, add the following line in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/openvpn in order to force manual creation of tun interface at openvpn service start

ifconfig tun2 create

Useful ip getter script /usr/local/sbin/myip

cd /usr/local/sbin
touch myip
echo "#/bin/csh" >>myip
echo "wget http://ipinfo.io/IP -qO -" >>myip
chmod +x myip
