| Opening Ports |
In order to open a port through a VPN you need to open a port with your VPN-provider.
Note: Not all VPN-providers support this feature! Notably, Mullvad does not anymore!
Note: The port present in the nixarr.vpn.wgConf, should not be used for any options!
AirVPN
Go to the ports page at AirVPN's website open a port. After opening it should look like this:
Then you can set that port for a service, for example
nixarr.transmission = {
enable = true;
vpn.enable = true;
peerPort = 12345;
};
Debugging Ports
You can debug an open port using the
nixarr.vpn.vpnTestService.
If the DNS and IP checks out, it will
open a netcat instance on the port specified in
nixarr.vpn.vpnTestService.port.
You can then run:
nc <public VPN ip> <specified port>
Where the "public VPN ip" is the one shown in the vpnTestService logs as
your ip. Upon succesful connection type messages that should show up in the
vpnTestService logs.
