May 10, 201610 yr Hey! I would like to know if it is possible to receive internet connection using RJ45 that build in the MB, and share it to another switch, using USB to RJ45 adapter that I have, but, with openvpn. so that the shared connection will be connected to some VPN service that I am using. Thanks!
May 10, 201610 yr The answer is a definitive maybe... I'm not familiar with the USB to RJ45 adapter that you plan to use, but the first question I have is... is it compatible with Linux and are there drivers for it... even if there are I somehow doubt they are in the default build of unRAID so you might have to compile your own kernel with the needed driver. This is what I think the real issue is... if it works you should be able to use it... getting it to work might be a headache though. Then you would need to identify the port under your network config and direct OpenVPN at that port.
May 10, 201610 yr Author thanks for the answer. am using this adapter: http://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-3-0-Gigabit-Ethernet-RJ45-External-Network-Card-LAN-Adapter-10-100-1000Mbps-/191553574047?hash=item2c997b949f:g:Z3YAAOSw7aBVI~Pb right now using it on mintlinux and it is working well. why does it have to be so complicated? maybe MB with 2 RJ45 onboard connection would be the answer then.
May 10, 201610 yr why does it have to be so complicated?Because unraid loads from the boot USB and runs completely in RAM. Small and fast is good, so all extra stuff that normally is installed with linux is omitted.
