Running a Torrent Box with Transmission and a VPN

I have tried looking around a lot to find some answers around this topic. My end goal is to run Ubuntu Server on a Hyper-V VM. I want to be able to port forward my ssh ability and also port forward the Transmission GUI but want everything else ran through a VPN. I want all of my torrents to be downloaded only while connected to the VPN. I would also like for the VM to be able to download the files straight to my file server. I am using PIA for my VPN. So I guess I have multiple questions in one.




  1. How do I connect my VM to my PIA VM?

  2. How do I set up a kill switch for it?

  3. How do I allow the Transmission port and the SSH port out on my local ext IP

  4. How do I allow this VM to work with my file server?


My end goal is to be able to download all my torrents safely with a VPN but also want to be able to connect to the Transmission GUI and SSH remotely, then have all of this download to my NAS. Is this at all possible or am I dreaming?

          ComboBox Display Member on multiple fields

          Image
          2 I'm trying to set the .DisplayMember property of a ComboBox in C#, but I want to bind it to multiple columns in the .DataSouce . My SQL looks like this: SELECT PersNbr, PersFirstName, PersMiddleName, PersLastName FROM Pers WHERE PersNbr = :persNbr; I'm saving this query in a DataTable so each column selected has it's own column in the Datatable .

          Is it possible to collect Nectar points via Trainline?

          Image
          2 Since I am not eligible for any Railcard, the only available discount/bonus scheme is Nectar Card for me. GWR, SWR, LNER and Virgin Trains allow to collect Nectar points and I have already linked a card to my GWR account. A friend suggested me to use Trainline App, because it can search for bus tickets either. I had a look at the application, but could not see any option for Nectar. Is there a way to collect Nectar points when I buy tickets via Trainline? uk trains loyalty-programs trainline share | improve this question asked Dec 2 '18 at 15:50 ahmedus 3,224 5 19 49
