VPN Torrent downloader

It features:

• rTorrent (a torrent client),
• flood (a web interface for rTorrent),
• OpenVPN Client (to tunnel traffic through your ISP) and Server (Optional for testing)
• a simple iptables firewall to allow rTorrent to only access the internet through a VPN.

Setup

If you have a VPN provider, you will be provided a client configuration file to connect to it. If you don't, use the setup described in the Self hosted VPN server section.

Place your .ovpn configuration file under openvpn-data/client-conf/

$ ls openvpn-data/client-conf
vpn.ovpn

Do the dab, run

docker-compose up

And visit http://localhost:3000

Self hosted VPN server

If you don't have a VPN server yet, you can run your own for testing.

⚠️ While testing with it, privacy is not guaranteed!

1. Generate your OpenSSL keys:

Ok, you have been warned enough now.

$ docker build -t media-center_openvpn-server ./docker-images/openvpn-server/
...
Successfully built 63a4b12f9784
Successfully tagged media-center_openvpn-server:latest

$ docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd)/openvpn-data/server-conf:/etc/openvpn media-center_openvpn-server ovpn_genconfig -u udp://openvpn-server
...
Successfully generated config
Cleaning up before Exit ...


$ docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd)/openvpn-data/server-conf:/etc/openvpn media-center_openvpn-server ovpn_initpki
...
An updated CRL has been created.
CRL file: /etc/openvpn/pki/crl.pem


$ docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd)/openvpn-data/server-conf:/etc/openvpn media-center_openvpn-server easyrsa build-client-full vpn nopass
docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd)/openvpn-data/server-conf:/etc/openvpn media-center_openvpn-server ovpn_initpki
docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd)/openvpn-data/server-conf:/etc/openvpn media-center_openvpn-server ovpn_initpki

They will be saved under openvpn-data/server-conf.

2. Uncomment the openvpn-server block in the docker-compose file:

This will launch an OpenVPN server using your generated keys.

Again, BEWARE! The two ends of the magical VPN pipe will be in your server!

Thanks

To all the f****** geniuses in the Open Source community who makes this kind of clunky setup possible
