Excellent news, this is going to save me so much money on my tropical island vacation. I won't even need to leave my city!

No it's the second one; server (home pc) is running ProtonVPN and there is a default route that makes all (ie ssh replies) traffic go through the VPN.

I added some clarification, but basically this sets up a port-based default route to the home router instead of the VPN, so that SSH etc works.

Woooah awesome thanks!

There goes my whole day again on systemd...

I was surprised to learn this was a thing, impressive, however;

'the VPN app sends a request to the VPN server to open a random port'

'the active port number will change when you disconnect and reconnect the VPN.'

This will not work OOTB with Plex for example, you would need to change the port in the app every time. It becomes difficult to serve anything statically, like a XMPP server or anything that doesn't let you configure the port.

You also would need to be at home to check which port you've been assigned eg if the connection drops and you get assigned a new port, defeating the whole 'remote access' thing.

Someone doesn't understand the internet...

Yes but.. I am learnING??

Remote access while ProtonVPN is active.

I have protonVPN, therefore no way to forward packets from their endpoint to my pc.

I spent most of the day intensely learning nftables and ulogd thinking that was the way. Nope, there was a simple way all along.

Um.. I'm going to choose to phone a friend on this one...

Oh, ..I have no friends who would know.

My instinct is you're going to need to journalctl -b and see what modprobe and udev are up to.

learning... it's extensive!

Ahead of you with the non-default port, I just didn't use it in the example.

But for the destination IP, I won't always be connecting remotely from the same one. Or am I misunderstanding what you mean?

I have doubts you would see any performance increases, and if you change your hardware you'll be in for a tough time but it would be a fun learning experience!

Can't you compile your own kernel with exactly the things you want? Would be a fun project to do

The older I get the more I tend towards blaming the people being scammed for being stupid enough to be scammed.

$35 Apple watch, really?? You thought that was real?? Well boy do I have an exiled African prince to introduce you to!

I would so read that book.

You're right, I am not.

That is what this post is about, IDK who this Torvalds guy is.
