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.

In order to use PIA in the Wireguard app, don’t I have to select

OpenVPN (deprecated)

in the dropdown for VPN? I’m trying to avoid something that will be removed in the near future. Or am I reading that wrong?

Did a little research and seems to be a PIA issue; they don’t provide config files… But there is a workaround: https://github.com/pia-foss/manual-connections

Or a Python script to obtain a config file: https://github.com/hsand/pia-wg

But there are other VPNs that will let you download config files for use, I have no idea why PIA makes it hard.

You would need to create a docker image or some sort of container/VM (container preferred) to host wireguard. This is what I personally use: https://github.com/wg-easy/wg-easy
