Long story short, if you pay your usenet provider with a credit card, don't bother using a VPN to connect to them.

true dat - bitcoin ftw

as always you guys enlighten me, if usenet providers are logging the network activities, it doesn't matter where the connection is coming from. they could triage using the username... I guess that's it from usenet's vpn. 

ok do we know what happens if the VPN in this container falls over?

 

So was testing this last night with PIA + the wiregaurd option and getting consistent speeds of around 55 MB/s which I can deal with (first world problem I know)

 

But today  I noticed when clicking the wrench icon it keeps coming up saying Public IPv4 address and DNS name lookup failed (this was not present last night) then if I refresh it will show the public IPV4 address and then another refresh says connection failed although this does not seem to affect downloads.

 

The reason I ask is I set off a test download when I first noticed this and it was downloading at twice the speed almost indicating the VPN was not connected. next download it was back to the regular 55 MB/s

 

Also anyone explain exactly what Privoxy is and what it does?

if the tunnel disconnects, then the client will re-establish it, if wireguard/openvpn process dies then it will be re-created, there is zero risk of ip leakage, at all times its secured via iptables, see Q1 from here:- https://github.com/binhex/documentation/blob/master/docker/faq/vpn.md

Thank you binhex.

 

So why do I get connection failed when refreshing that page?

 

dose the docker keep the VPN connection open or does it only establish when a DL is initiated?

 

whenever i click the wrench icon it seems random as to whether it brings back my public IP address or whether its says failed connection

I just turned on the flag for strict port forwarding and seems to be working ok now and populating the fields.

Changing strict port forwarding will do nothing for this container as it will be completely ignored

so does privoxy only work if the vpn is enabled?

@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.

yes and no, containers are not shared so its of no concern.

This isn't really an issue with this container itself but is anyone else having problems with downloads not starting when using PIA with wireguard?  I had it working for a few hours yesterday and then my download speed dropped to 0 and Sab was throwing errors about no servers.  I removed the wireguard variable from the container to switch back to OpenVPN and things are back to normal.  I tried changing the wireguard config to a couple of different servers with no luck.

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 for the reply.  I'm thinking it's something else with my setup since I just got it working for a friend on his unraid server and had no issues.

Can someone please help me with this docker?    How, step-by-step do I fix this problem:

 

I have read Q19 and I just don't get it.  I tried what it said and still does not work.

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

Not this one, for some reason it was a DHCP issue on the network. I cannot figure out why the docker container worked without issue for a year with the exact same settings. 

I'm having an issue. In the configuration, I set my /data folder to be the location I have been using for downloads with qBittorrent (which I have no issues with). See the image.

 

 

However, when I download something in SABnzbd, it goes to a download folder in the /config location. I'm not sure why it's ignoring my selected /data setting. And I can see in the Folders section of the Config in the application that it's using /config as the base folder location.

 

 

 

So what can I do to get it to download to the correct location? Thanks in advance.

i believe you need a leading / .  so "/Downloads/incomplete" not "Downloads/incomplete".  also, "/Downloads/complete".

Edited November 27, 20205 yr by DoItMyselfToo

Thanks for the quick reply. You helped me solve it -- I had to add the leading "/" and change "Downloads" to "data".

excellent.  glad you got it working.

Can someone help me understand what's happening? This happens pretty often, where nothing happens when a file is post processing, eventhough I don't have "Pause Downloading During Post-Processing" selected. Any thoughts?

I updated my docker for SABnzbdVPN this morning and now I can't get the web interface to respond (it just times out on port 8080).  I'm seeing the following error in the logs:

2020-12-02 13:56:59 DEPRECATED OPTION: --cipher set to 'aes-128-cbc' but missing in --data-ciphers (AES-256-GCM:AES-128-GCM). Future OpenVPN version will ignore --cipher for cipher negotiations. Add 'aes-128-cbc' to --data-ciphers or change --cipher 'aes-128-cbc' to --data-ciphers-fallback 'aes-128-cbc' to silence this warning.

 

Could this be the reason I can't start it, and if so how do I change this?

 

I use PIA for the VPN, and am running 6.9 beta 35 of unraid.

have you switched to using the PIA Nextgen?  look here starting with #19.
