Technically yes but I have the vpn and might as well obscure my searches.
Create a VPN tunnel in unraid “Settings > VPN Manager” with a VPN conf file that you create with whatever VPN you are using. Once that is created it creates a custom docker network. Then place that docker on the custom docker network that is the VPN. To test that your docker is using the VPN tunnel, in the command line type “curl ipinfo.io” to confirm what IP it is using.
You messed something up in your config. There is no reason for the Arrs to use a vpn to the internet to connect to Overseerr if they are on the same host.
Better off having only your torrent client behind VPN and then have the arr’s use a proxy for searches. Everything should be able to see each other on your local LAN. (Pretty sure the qbittorrent vpn includes a privoxy server built into it)
Have you looked into USenet
prowlarr is also behind the vpn, so that it can talk to the sonarr/radarr.
I havent really had a reason to since my setup works pretty good, whats the main advantage of using it?
So all of the arrs have to communicate with the vpn outside of your network via the internet then come back into the same machine via the internet to communicate with Overseerr and Prowlarr. Do you see the problem?
No need for a VPN and issues like you are having.
No they are connected via localhost so I don’t think they go outside the network to communicate, correct me if I’m wrong though.
Interesting, I was always told to have sabnzb behind a VPN also (pretty much and downloader). Is that not recommended anymore?
You haven’t given a lot of info about the VPN but there is no reason to VPN internal traffic on the same host. The traffic would need to leave the network to the Internet and then come back in on any type of VPN I can think of. If your ARRs and overseer are in a VPN then they are probably leaving the network and coming in a different path. They should be about to speak to each other directly unless you messed up a config and put each one in different docker networks.
No need for it since it’s all direct connections with encryption. There is no swarm.
I’ll need to look more into it but I thought the ISP could still see the request. Granted I think most even obfuscate the name of the file as well.
Edit: I’m not sure why I’m being down voted because I want to do my own research to better understand rather than just trusting a random person on reddit.
See what request? They see an encrypted stream of data between 2 points. That’s it
ISP can see what server you connect to and can tell there’s traffic flowing but can’t tell what it is because it’s encrypted.
