I would recommend using Wireguard instead of OVPN, assuming you have PIA for your VPN provider.

Not seeing the issues you describe. Switched to Wireguard from OVPN and have been happier with the performance. I do notice the initial connection time to the VPN to be longer when starting SAB.

thanks.

@binhexseeing this in the SABnzbdvpn logs: Warning: `/config/wireguard/wg0.conf' is world accessible did a search for this on your github vpn page but didn't see a match. have you seen this before? is there anything i need to do about this? thanks.

so does privoxy only work if the vpn is enabled?

just switched to wireguard and seeing a huge speed improvement. pia has a page about port forwarding on the nextgen network here you might want to look at.

SIO just put out a new video about testing speeds which I haven't had a chance to watch but looks interesting.

Oh. Good to know. I have a 400 Mbps connection and used to get a solid 50 MB/s download speed on PIA overnight. Now, lucky to get half that.

On Spectrum. Overall I've noticed a slower surfing experience. I think this might be more related to COVID work/school from home.

Toronto.

i'm seeing the same behavior. i used to 40-50 megabytes per second in the evening/over night; and during the day 15-25. now during the day 6-12; evening/over night max 25.

this is what i had (excepting line13); had a working SAB. updated SAB. received AUTH_FAILED and this below: DEPRECATED OPTION: --cipher set to 'aes-256-gcm' but missing in --data-ciphers (AES-256-GCM:AES-128-GCM). Future OpenVPN version will ignore --cipher for cipher negotiations. Add 'aes-256-gcm' to --data-ciphers or change --cipher 'aes-256-gcm' to --data-ciphers-fallback 'aes-256-gcm' to silence this warning. so added line 13; instantly worked.

to be clear, i had the exact settings from Q22 in ovpn file working for Toronto. then i updated today to the latest SAB which broke it. i then monitored the sab logs and followed the recommendation.

Update: i just updated binhex-sabnzbdvpn to the latest, which broke my vpn connection. got an error message saying to add "aes-256-gcm" to fallback. so, despite the recommendation in Q22 to remove "data-ciphers-fallback aes-256-gcm," i added back "data-ciphers-fallback aes-256-gcm" to the ovpn file and was instantly able to login. your milage may vary.

FYI - the PIA "openvpn-strong-nextgen" files stopped working for me today. checked the logs. then, reverted to the "openvpn-nextgen" linked by binhex in Q19 here, then followed Q22. worked fine. initially the "openvpn-nextgen" didn't work for me, but the "openvpn-strong-nextgen" did. your mileage may vary.

Using the "openvpn-strong-nextgen" files from PIA and only adding the line "data-ciphers-fallback aes-256-gcm" to the OVPN file in use worked instantly. In other words, copy ctyke's shown above.

removed calibre. deleted the appdata. reinstalled. but changed the host path for container "/books" to "/mnt/disk2/media/books" and it works, instead of "/mnt/user/media/books".

thank you for looking at this. helps to have fresh eyes. i haven't done anything different. filled in all the paths, ports, etc. the problem arises with The Calibre Welcome Wizard, after successfully logging into guac. when i change the container library path from "/config" to "/books" the database either just plain fails or is corrupted. if i choose repair, it doesn't work. but if i choose the default "/config" then it works.

it shows the content of my "/media" share, including the subfolder "books".

/mnt/user/media/books/

and that makes sense. for some reason, i cannot get calibre to let me either make the database at "/books" or move it there after. any suggestions?

looking at the default paths in the linuxserver.io calibre container, calibre puts a copy of the books in the calibre llibrary located in the appdata folder, so what is the purpose of container path "/books,"

I was curious whether Intel Quick Sync is available in Unmanic, as I have it installed in unRAID and enabled in Plex with fantastic results. Searching this thread I didn't find what I was looking for, but when installing Unmanic, I noticed that the info for enabling Intel Quick Sync in Unmanic is noted. Here are the steps; Note: for a step-by-step guide for enabling Quick Sync and editing the Go file, look at the first post here in the Plex Hardware Acceleration Guide, by @lotetreemedia. Though QuickSync (/dev/dri) is working for Plex and Handbrake, so far I'm unable to get Unmanic to use Quick Sync. Anyone else get it working?

Installed the update a couple days ago which solved the problem. Thank you.
