I'm sure that if you do a bit of searching you will find others who have created similar BASH shell scripts, python scripts or even perl scripts that can be used for various flavors of linux. The next two lines, use the "vpn-port" variable to sent transmission to use the port that PIA has assigned my VPN connection. The Apple script puts what ever port PIA has assigned to my connection into another new variable "vpn_port". Next, my apple script uses curl to log in to the PIA servers to find out what random port they have assigned my VPN connection, this is where it uses that first variable "vpn_IP" in order to find what port is forward.
Pia port forwarding how to#
You need to figure out how to properly execute this shell script on your linux system.įor me the first line of this Apple script gets the IP address of my VPN tunnel IP interface and puts that IP in a variable called "vpn_ip". I'm unsure how famialiar you are with scripting but the important part in this script is the shell script that executes this line: "curl -d \"user=&pass=&client_id=$(cat ~/.pia_client_id)&local_ip=" & vpn_ip & "\" Set vpn_port to do shell script "curl -d \"user=&pass=&client_id=$(cat ~/.pia_client_id)&local_ip=" & vpn_ip & "\" 2>/dev/null|grep -oE \"+\""ĭo shell script "defaults delete BindPort"ĭo shell script "defaults write BindPort " & vpn_port & "" This is an Apple script that automatically forwards ports and updates Transmission upon doing so: set vpn_ip to do shell script "ifconfig tun0 | grep inet | awk ''" Speaking of PIAs servers, there are a lot of them. After you do, PIAs app will show you which servers support port forwarding. Also, enabling port forwarding is simple - just turn on the setting inside the app. I run my VPN on a MacOSX "server", and I need port forwarding for Torrents. Private Internet Access is the best port forwarding VPN as it offers this feature on Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android. All amounts are shown in USD, and any discounts reflect a reduction based on the current monthly service pricing at 11.95 per month. But, just in case WANT Plex inside your VPN, or maybe you have need of PIA portforwarding for other reasons I will share what I do. I suggest doing as others have suggested and running Plex outside your VPN.
