Virtual private networks / Re: Suggestions for VPN with port forwarding

« on: September 24, 2023, 03:45:10 am »

Alternatively, for $20/mn more I can now switch to a business priority plan that includes a public IP that I can share my external stuff through and route my regular browsing traffic through a VPN client in OPNsense. I think I'll give that a shot since I still have a bunch of time on my PIA subscription.

@newsense, git gud is always a valid option, but if I'd rather pay for a solution than pay for a service to build my own solution on. I don't need that level of control and, honestly, I'm a bit too lazy for that. If I get extra paranoid I'll take your advice to heart though. Thank you.

@BondiBlueBalls, I did go down that road with PIA. I was using one of the forks that they listed which did get a connection going on tun0, but that interface didn't appear in OPNsense and I would prefer keeping as much config in the webUI as I can. Quickly skimming your suggestion, it looks like ProtonVPN might check all the boxes. Much appreciated!

@Maurice, that's an interesting note. I've largely ignored IPv6 personally and professionally, but perhaps I'll take the chance to dip my toes in. Appreciate the two cents!

Virtual private networks / Suggestions for VPN with port forwarding

« on: September 18, 2023, 03:10:36 am »

Recently moved to Starlink without realizing that I would lose port forwarding. I currently have PIA, but they don't support port forwarding outside the app. I found a couple things on Github for FreeBSD, but I'd prefer to keep the config in OPNsense. Does anyone have a recommendation for a VPN provider that offers a dedicated IP with port forwarding that I can add in VPN > OpenVPN > Clients?
