Managed to spin up Opencloud on my NAS. I put a host entry in NPM and it seems to be working. From external internet I can log in and upload files with no issues. But whenever I try to reach it through local IP and port, page loads but stays completely blank.

Googling didn't give reasonable leads. Has anyone had similar issue that they've fixed?

Edit: Forgot to write a solution that I have found.

It seems that Opencloud has to be accessed though an secure connection with a working SSL cert. My solution is to utilize local DNS service (in my case, pihole) and redirect dns record to your reverse proxy to be solved there. In my case op.example.com goes to a NPM on a local machine that answers with an Opencloud site. Page will be white/black for a few secs for some reason, but it will load webpage and will let me in.

Ladies and gentlemen. We got'em!

OG post

Yesterday a divine miracle happened and a wild Xbox360 S phased into reality in my apartment. What cool and neat things I can do with it?

I run qBittorrent on NAS that is connecting over a VPN to a proxy server running on Raspberry Pi in another country. qBittorrent's bottom bar indicates I am behind a firewall.

I have opened 6881 port (same as in qBittorrent) in router settings but it still registers as closed on web open port checker. Checking ss -tulpn | grep 6881 shows that there is a tailnet IP listening on this port. Also, ufw accepts both tcp and udp from 6881. But it still registers as closed.

In another post I made user stated that qBittorrent ports are not working over proxy but also suggested to ask here. Just want to confirm if it is so.

I run proxy through RPi3b+ that is installed in another country. I want to open a port on RPi that is being used by qbittorent on main machine which is 6881. Is there any way to do it?

I have used ufw enable 6881/tcp but it seems not to work. And I tried miniupnp but it fails to ind IGD which must be there cause router does have UPnP tailscale port open automatically. Am I doing something wrong?

Recently digitalized bunch of DVDs and BluRays. This one is a hell of a CD holder. Feels like trying to play tug of war with a dog.

I have set an Arr stack with qBittorrent utilizing SOCKS5 server set in another country. Am I still under surveillance if I use my local IP address to download .torrent files or use magnet links?

Got a printer at the warehouse where they sell used hotel equipment. They told that it has a defect in a way that it "prints with a line across". All cartridges were full and working. And it seems that they can be refilled judging by the area around the caps.

It did work but the "line" was a bend, not a print. Found out that heating roller in a fuser was the culprit. Was about to get a new fuser off Alibaba for a 100 but my wife gave me a better option. She suggested to get a used one off local marketplace. We found same lineup smiplier model with empty cartridges. After a quick swap, this little boy now gives out sharp and plain prints. 30 euro for defective office one, 40 euro off marketplace.

This pic is from a marketplace printer with a swapped in defective fuser.

P.S. Apparently, this brand has an extensive servicing manual for this lineup printers. It has all instructions for servicing pretty much any part with pictures and videos. Major props for Lexmark. Never heard of this brand before.

I currenly reside in a country with strict piracy rules but also have access to the internet in a country where piracy is not enforced. I want to setup a VPN and route qBittorrent's traffic through it. The idea is to do something like this:

I am fresh to selfhosting and most of the time have no clue how to achieve what I want. So far I have tried Tailscale but I think it won't work how I want it to. If it helps, I have domain name registered. Can anybody point me to the right direction?

Update (if anyone is seeking answers):

I went with tailscale which I have already set up before on the rpi3. Somehow, no matter what I try, wireguard or pivpn would not work. Maybe I have hands growing out of my ass or something, no idea.

What did work is Dante. I setup socks5 on pi through tailscale0 and it worked wonders. Qbittorent did connect and detected IP of rpi3. The best part is that opposed to wireguard, dedicated port does not have to be open in order for Dante to work. I see it as a win win! Now I'm hyped to go back to my homeland and install pi there.
