Hi @binhex. First off, thanks for all you do. love your containers, and have been running `binhex-delugevpn` since I moved to unRAID.
I'm hoping to get your opinion on something I've been trying to accomplish. I use IRC for quite a bit of communication, and using a BNC (like ZNC) has been very useful. I want to connect to the IRC networks over a VPN, but ZNC does not offer proxy support.
To accomplish this, I'm using the `LSIO ZNC` container with a custom network called `container:binhex-privoxyvpn`. I then expose/publish the ZNC port (6501) in the `binhex-privoxyvpn` container, and remove the 6501 port mapping in the ZNC container. This works, as I had hoped. I can hop on any IRC client (as long as I'm on the same network as the unRAID server) and connect to all of my favorite IRC networks/channels (and do so through PIA servers!). The issue is gaining remote access. I'd like to keep ZNC running on my server, but be able to connect remotely.
I tested running ZNC in normal bridge mode with 6501 port mapping exposed/published, and I port forwarded 6501 from my server within my router software. Doing this, I could connect to the ZNC container on my server from remote locations (although the traffic was not protected by PIA VPN/privoxy). However, if I then go back to piping the ZNC traffic through the `binhex-privoxyvpn` container, I can no longer connect and checking open ports shows 6501 as closed. I believe I've narrowed down the issue to this statement in the log `Application does not require port forwarding or VPN provider is != pia, skipping incoming port assignment`.
Can you think of any tips/tricks to getting this to work? Thanks for your time.
