To begin, lets start with installing Transmission and OpenVPN.
To install Transmission
sudo apt install transmission-daemon
Once it is installed you will want to access the web GUI from another machine so lets go into the settings.json and tweak a few things so you can access it.
First we need to stop transmission
sudo service transmission-daemon stop
Then with your favorite editor go ahead and open the settings file, I prefer nano so
nano /etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json
We need to just change a couple lines, where I have 192.168.10.* type your lan range be it 192.161.* or 192.168.0.* the * is a wildcard that will let anyone on your lan access the transmission web-GUI.
“rpc-authentication-required”: false,
“rpc-bind-address”: “0.0.0.0”,
“rpc-enabled”: true,
“rpc-whitelist”: “192.168.10.*”,
