Re: [tor-relays] Relay behind VPN router

Hi Jochen,

Ah, I understand. I believe services like AirVPN allow clients to forward traffic to them on certain ports. For example, if you configure the VPN-provider to forward all the incoming traffic on port 9001 to your router as the client, you are able to run a relay from behind your router (you still have to forward the traffic from your router to the relay in your home network). This topic suggests this is a working configuration. 

I don't know if privateinternetaccess.com allows clients to forward ports, though.

Regards,

Viktor

you misunderstood. The question was, why I use VPN and not TOR. TOR is
too slow for some applications. Try watching a youtube video through
tor, this is often stuttering.

Another reason why I prefer vpn: only apps capable of socks5 can use
TOR. With a vpn client on my router I can anonymize ALL traffic, even
those of tablets, smartphones, smart tv, game consoles etc.
