Where do you have your VPN setup? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I've moved my Plex server to Truenas Scale, and I'm about to get Sonarr/Radarr/Ombi/etc setup, but first I need to get VPN going. Truenas Scale uses OpenVPN and my current VPN service is ExpressVPN (which I've been very happy with). Setting up ExpressVPN with Truenas has proven challenging because of certificate import issues.

Previously I've always run ExpressVPN locally. Do you think it's a good idea just to put it on my router (PfSense) and call it a day? They do provide specific instructions to set it up on that specific router OS. I imagine I could always use a custom route to bypass it if needed (ie local sports on Fubo TV).

Seems to be an increasingly rare thing these days from VPN providers. Mullvad recently dropped it, but it does look like ExpressVPN may still support it

Unfortunately this is true and I can't figure out why...

Proton still supports it; easier in windows than in Linux. Also windscribe does.

Nah that ExpressVPN article is about regular port forwarding, not through the VPN. If you use that type of port forwarding you'll be leaking your IP.

Ugh, wait what? Why would anyone even do that with a VPN?
