Thank you for your kind investment of time and thought.
The Turnkey Torrent Server seems to have led a merry dance lately, changing torrent clients twice in a very short space of time. Sadly, much of the documentation has not caught up, but during periods of significant change, the opportunity to incorporate new but popular features such as VPN client integration does not seem to be such a big ask as it would with a long-term stable product.
Sadly, I still rely heavily of TurnKey howtos and I admit that although I did not feel confident enough to attempt it directly, the thought of strapping OpenVPN or a VPN client onto the package did not seem to register the usual "list of things not to do to something that works".
I really don't have (yet) the sort of metals that support VM and would be venturing into the unknown with that approach, however ideal it would be.
I had not considered two TK machines, but would feel a l;ittle defeated by this method as my objective is to reduce power consumption on a box that runs 24/7.
One of the issues regardsing adding Transmission to the VPN would be the potential loss of Samba?
I have this fear of destabilising everything by messing with anything that runs as efficiently and in such small footprints as TurnKey Appliances do.
However, I do believe that adding a VPN, possibly bi-directional to TurnKey Torrent Server would be, to quote my son AND grandson "the coolest thing", so very slowly and carefully, I intend to try.
My confidence dissolves, when I realise on every occasion that my Linux knowledge would make most newbies feel confident! However .. .. .. .. .
I am very grateful .. ..
