Port forwarding script for PiaVpn with rTorrent compatibilty
NOTE: This script is already distributed by PIA, this is a modified version of it that includes rTorrent compatibility by overwriting the port-range configuration to the port that will be passed to you by the PIA server every time a new port is called.
NOTE2: This script assumes that you're running it with the user that will run rTorrent, and that rTorrent is using the default configuration file location (.rtorrent.rc in your HOME directory).
-
Connect to the VPN.
-
Run the following commands:
$ git clone https://github.com/Deracinator/piavpn-rtorrent-port-forwarding.git
$ cd piavpn-rtorrent-port-forwarding/
$ chmod +x port-forwarding.sh
$ ./port-forwarding.sh- Supposing everything went well, you will see (as an example, obviously):
Loading port forward assignment information...
Updating rTorrent port range...
{"port":56498}
- And that's it!
Tested in archlinux on January/2020 with PIA on openvpn.
