Hey lads,
Want to stream video on a device with a webfilter, I can’t access the stream site but I can access my NAS. Is there anyway to run this stream through a proxy on my NAS with good performance?
I tried a firefox docker but the performance was awful. The stream is available as a VLC network stream if that helps.
Cloudflare tunnel is really cool. Can point that wherever you want. Maybe a good option. Takes a minute to figure out, but it’s free and doesn’t open any ports.
Can you setup wireguard VPN and go that route?
If you have Jellyfin or Plex set up, you could try adding the video stream as a live TV stream there.
The free tier is not meant for video tho and they may shut down your account
Probably not. Might be able to get away with it, but would rather not install any software if I can get away with it.
Do you know if I can use Nginx Proxy Manager to do this? I already have that for other services I run, I’m just not really sure how to set it up to point at an external host.
I do, and was just thinking that myself earlier. Wasn’t sure if it was possible though. Thanks, will look into it.
Wireguard is build in to unraid, and a small program on your devices.
It’s also better than exposing every individual service, even through a reverse proxy.
Sounds like you might be breaking policy. I would not use any vpn. I work in infosec and if I saw someone spin up a VPN tunnel to a private network that would be a big issue. It would allow that workstation to bypass all security filters and possibly allow malware that would normally be blocked by a web filtering system/casb or dlp system.
I know, I use it for remote access already, I’d just rather not install anything on this device when I know I don’t need to.
I just need a proxy for another website, but I don’t know how to do that, and anytime you search unraid proxy, you get people trying to expose internal services, which I’m not interested in.
You may be able to answer another q I have. If I bought a router and stuck OpenWRT on it, and forwarded all the traffic on it through a VPN, would you be able to tell?
Thinking I could work from another country and forward everything through my NAS back home so it looks like I’m still in the country.
Seems a bit spicy, but if everything is happening on the router, would they know?
