I want to be able to route web based traffic through this VPN from outside of my network. I will lock this down via my firewall to only allow traffic from a specific IP address so as to not open up a security nightmare. I also don't want to run more than one VPN. I use this for a multitude of things and it works flawlessly for everything I want except this one task but this one task is very important. Isn't there something that can just be done on my side to allow this?

@binhexAny luck yet coming up with ideas or am I just shit out of luck?

yes i did get chance to take a look and the issue is related to iptables being tightened, so right now privoxy is restricted to respond to requests only on lan side. i am loathed to change this tbh, you are literally the only person to request privoxy access from the internet, so i dont really want to open this up for a single request, sorry, you are of course free to fork and change as you see fit.

 

can i just ask a little bit more detail on this, why do you need to route traffic via privoxy from the internet?, is there a specific task you are trying to achieve here, maybe there is a better alternative i could suggest.

I will see if I can find some time tonight to dig into this a little further

@binhex Any luck! I want to keep using this but without a way to pass traffic thru to it from the Internet it is not going to work for me. I'd appreciate any additional insight you might have.

I tried what you said and the port still shows as closed from the Internet. To give you some background this will NOT be wide-open to the Internet. I will be locking this down to a specific IP range from my firewall. The firewall shows that the request is coming in from the Internet but the UnRaid server is not responding to the request (see below).

 

I read through the entire config file and I just don't see a spot in Privoxy that would be stopping this once that listen-address 0.0.0.0:8118 is set. It seems like something within the way UnRaid is setup is restricting it. I'm just not sure though. I don't know enough about Linux to know one way or another. I do understand networking though and I'm 100% sure my network is passing the traffic to the UnRaid server:port and it isn't responding.

 

Do you have any other suggestions?

 

@binhex Were you able to take a further look at this and provide any additional ideas?

firstly i have to say this sounds like a bad idea, bots search for open proxies and will then automatically add any open proxies to known lists on the internet, so you might find your connection abused quite quickly, but if you do want to go ahead then have a look at privoxy config file located in /config/privoxy/config at this line:-

listen-address :8118

try altering this to be:-

listen-address 0.0.0.0:8118

save and restart container, this MIGHT fix it, but there are a fair number of places that could be causing the block, this is just one possible place.

So I have followed the FAQ Question #2 directions from https://github.com/binhex/documentation/blob/master/docker/faq/vpn.md on enabling Privoxy outside the LAN but I still cannot seem to get Privoxy to respond from the Internet. I have created a firewall rule on my firewall to allow port 8118 to go to my internal port 8118 on the UnRaid server. The firewall shows traffic coming in but Privoxy is NOT responding to the requests coming in to use it as the proxy server. If I use this from any other LAN device and point it to the IP of my Privoxy server and port it works flawlessly.

 

Is this FAQ possibly outdated and something has changed that I'm unaware of? Any assistance getting this working from OUTSIDE my LAN would be greatly appreciated.

 

Using UnRAID 6.9.2

This has been posted for over a week now. Is anyone able to provide some insight into this please?

[Mover won't move files off of cache to array]

Glad you think so  

 

While this is fresh in your mind any feedback on ways to make this clearer the first time around that might occur to you would be welcomed.   This is a common area in which users get confused.

Honestly not sure to be honest. A very specific use case based tutorial that is pretty dumbed down maybe? I would suspect that most people who start using UNRAID are not linux experts so therefore this concept is likely over their head.

 

So this is how I set mine up after the mover completed. I also setup my mover to schedule a move operation at 3:30AM once a week on a Wednesday.

If you read my previous reply you will see I am recommending against using No for this.

Understood. I posted mine before reading yours. I understand now. Thank you very very much for all your help. Makes perfect sense to me now.

Changing the setting to Yes WILL make it work.    If you carefully read the help for that setting you might work out why Yes is needed.    The effect of the different values is not immediately obvious.

 

The problem you are encountering stems from the fact that qbittorrent is working at a level where it is falling foul of the way moves are handled at the Linux level and is thus managing to by-pass the User Share system creating the folder on the same drive as the downloads folder.

Thank you for the clarification. I'm no linux expert so it just takes me a bit of time to wrap my head around how all this works under the hood. So the best practice here would just be to leave the downloads folder set to NO for cache drive usage then? Otherwise I will just keep running into this issue.

[Mover won't move files off of cache to array]

So I set that to yes on both those shares and invoked the mover and it is indeed moving the files. So in the future if I don't want this to happen I should turn of the downloads share to NO for using the cache otherwise I'm just going to have to do this if I move from downloads to other shares? Or is there a better approach?

[Mover won't move files off of cache to array]

I never had the cache setting for TV Shows set to anything but NO. The qbittorent docker downloads torrents into downloads and then I moved them from the downloads to the tv shows or movies shares and they seem to STAY on the cache even though those two folders were never setup to be on the cache. And the reason the downloads share is set to that is I was trying different settings to determine if the MOVER would take any action. As far as manually moving from disk to disk I guess I don't know how to do that. I was using binhex krusader to move from share to share and I just assumed that it would move from cache to the array if the share I was moving to was not part of the array.

 

So if I set Tv Shows to YES and Movies to YES the files in cache will go from the cache to the array if I invoke the mover? That logically doesn't make sense to me.

[Mover won't move files off of cache to array]

I already have that turned on. I have attached my diagnostics file.

[Mover won't move files off of cache to array]

I just checked and I DO NOT have that plugin installed.

[Mover won't move files off of cache to array]

I'm assuming I am using the standard mover.

 

[Mover won't move files off of cache to array]

I originally setup my Unraid server without cache drives. I ended up adding 2 cache drives into a pool after the fact. I changed the settings on 4 shares to prefer cache. The 4 shares were appdata, domains, downloads and system. I use a qbittorent docker to download torrents that go into the downloads folder and then I move those downloads into the respective share they ultimately go in like lets say tv shows. The problem I am having is that my cache is filling up (74% full) even though I have moved the files (using binhex Krusader) to the respective shares that aren't on the cache drives (some files still show they are on the cache drive if I use the browse files feature on the shares tab for the tv shows share). The mover does nothing at all. According to the logs as soon as I start the mover it finishes instantly. I have even changed around the type of cache that the download share is set to and that still does nothing. Some direction regarding this would be greatly appreciated. It is probably something simple but I'm just not figuring it out.

I installed this via the community apps, working great by the way. However, every time I leave the application the column headings that I changed return to the default settings the next time I return to the application. This is quite annoying. All of the other settings seem to retain the changes but not the column headings. Anyone else have this problem (see screenshot)? Ideas?

 

This is default

 

This is the way I want it configured
