part of the reason why I loved both Succession and The Americans were they were written with an idea they would both end (plus incredible writing and performances in both).
very little network experience but I’m using Ubuntu to ssh into raspbian on a pi4. All of which is new to me, I can get sonarr radarr qbittorrent all working on it (i think - not willing to test without vpn), but it’s the VPN / Jellyfin stuff that’s really kicking my butt.
but if I’m turning off the VPN to watch something, doesn’t that make expose me because of all the seeding etc through qbittorrent?
"Network Settings: In Jellyfin’s network settings, make sure it’s set to listen on the correct network interface associated with your VPN connection.
"Port Forwarding: If you’ve previously set up port forwarding on your router for Jellyfin, you may need to reconfigure it to forward the VPN-assigned IP and port.
“Local IP Addresses: Check any configurations in Jellyfin that reference local IP addresses and update them if necessary to reflect the IP assigned by the VPN.”
<span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">as I said in my post: no instructions on how to configure it to "forward the VPN-assigned IP and port." or even what it really means (like I know port forwarding is where data comes in on an address, and is sent to another address, but how one reconfigures those, especially w/r/t a VPN I have no idea)
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">edit: I also believe that the port forwarding is where docker-compose is telling the pi where each app can be accessed via the .YML
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">but all of these words I hadn't even heard of until a few weeks ago when I started this process, so there's a lot I don't understand

I have an ATT router in pass-through to an Eero mesh which I control through an app on my phone. there doesn’t seem to be anything about installing a VPN on a router I can find online except for specialist routers
this is what I’m trying to do. I’ve played around with the Arr apps and they work as far as I can tell - but don’t want to use them until the network/VPN stuff is secure and safe
you’ve got a lot of answers, but as someone who started playing around with Linux recently I would say it’s probably better to start familiarizing yourself with some command line operations in windows now.
Do some things like, use the terminal to search for and open programs you need, delete files, even write some basic text documents.
yes, you’ll have to do some googling to work out how to do these things (and why it didn’t work) - and now you’re on the path to linux!
Maybe you’ll even find a way to install a command line browser to look up the answers.
