I was going to use the built-in OpenVPN in TrueNAS until I found out it’s going to be deprecated.

I only really need it for the qbitorrent/transmission and prowlarr/jackett (haven’t decided yet) apps in TrueNAS, so I don’t know what the next best option is.

I have found plenty of documentation on how to use the integrated OpenVPN feature of TrueNAS, but since the announcement of it’s deprecation and future elimination is only ~2 months old, I haven’t found any new documentation yet on alternate methods.

I see stuff about tailscale but that doesn’t seem to be what I’m trying to do.

Thanks.

      In the settings to install wireguard, the dropdown in it says

      OpenVPN (deprecated)

      so I’m trying to avoid something that will be removed in the near future.

          For the Wireguard app, when you go to select OpenVPN it says (deprecated).

            hmm i havent used truenas scale, but gluetun is just a program to help users connect to any vpn without downloading config files as pia supports wireguard, gluetun will use it by default.

            i suggest against using openvpn, its really not very good for performance because its single threaded.

      Is there something else you’re talking about?

        Oo so you’re wanting to set up a VPN to cover your tracks with usage of those apps and you’re wondering the best place to set up the client, either at the VM level or network level? Network level is going to be more robust but will require additional configuration to allow non-VPN traffic to work correctly, etc. If TrueNAS is deprecated, then I suggest you don’t put it there. The VM approach could work if configured correctly.
