| 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:
nixarr.vpn.vpnTestService = {
enable = true;
port = 12345;
};
The service should be started automatically, to rerun it:
systemctl restart vpn-test-service
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 the following from any computer:
nc <public VPN ip> <specified port>
Where the "public VPN ip" is the public IP of your VPN address, i.e. the
one shown in the vpn-test-service logs as your ip:
journalctl -xeu vpn-test-service
Which should look something like:
; <<>> DiG 9.18.27 <<>> google.com
...
Getting IP:
{
"ip": "12.34.56.78",
"hostname": "---.--.---.--.-------.----",
"city": "---------",
"region": "---------",
"country": "--",
"loc": "00.0000,00.0000",
"org": "----------------------",
"postal": "------",
"timezone": "----------------",
"readme": "-----------------------------"
}
DNS leak test:
Your IP:
12.34.56.78 [------, ----------------------]
You use 3 DNS servers:
---.---.---.-- [------, -----------------------]
---.---.---.- [------, -----------------------]
---.---.---.- [------, -----------------------]
Conclusion:
DNS may be leaking.
Note: It says that my DNS may be leaking, but all my DNS-servers are from country B, while I'm located in country A. Take the conclusion with a grain of salt
Here, your "public VPN ip" would be "12.34.56.78".
