Is it better to put OpenVPN (for PIA) on my OPNsense router, as an LXC on Proxmox, or the (soon to be deprecated) feature in my TrueNAS Scale VM? (lemmy.ml)

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.

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.
