This video shows how to route media collection programmes like Sonarr, Radarr Sickrage etc. through the VPN

via the privoxy using Binhex's excellent VPN containers such as deluge-VPN and Sabnzdb-VPN.

These applications can use the proxy when downloading metadata, such as nzb or torrent files from index sites, as some ISP's 
may block certain index sites this is an extremely useful.
Using Privoxy you can also route traffic from your LAN over the VPN tunnel and back again on your VMs and physical computers.

 

 

When I enter the privoxy value in the Proxy host field in SickRage, everything works fine except I'm unable to download images from theTVDB.  I get the following error:

 

SHOWQUEUE-REFRESH :: Unable to look up show on theTVDB, not downloading images: error HTTP error None while loading URL http://thetvdb.com/api/F9C450E78D99172E/series/273181/banners.xml
 

When I clear out the Proxy host field and restart SickRage, I can successfully download the images.  

 

I then tried unchecking "also use global proxy setting for indexers (tvdb, xem, anidb, etc.)" and enter the privoxy value in the Proxy host field in SickRage and restart SickRage.  I then get the following error:

 

SHOWQUEUE-REFRESH :: Request failed: 403 Client Error: Request blocked by Privoxy for url: http://thetvdb.com/banners/fanart/original/121361-84.jpg

 

Do you know what I can do to fix this?

Great tutorial. Do you know to get DNS requests to flow through privoxy as well?

thanks to this post:

the solution was to add:

{-block-as-image}

.thetvdb.com
