I have a TOR relay behind a Tomato router on an ADSL line. I activated the vpn client to route all traffic through privateinternetaccess.com.
What's the rationale for this, if you have access to Tor?
Unless you're generating a lot of traffic to the detriment of the network Tor will offer you superior privacy than a commercial VPN.
Because a TOR relay does not work behind NAT without port forwarding, I'm looking for a way how to route tor traffic directly to my internet provider. I can add static routes, but I don't now the IPs in advance.
What kind of VPN is this, OpenVPN? Can you still have DMZ and the VPN route co-exist?
Maybe there is no problem to route outgoing traffic through the vpn tunnel, but how can I make my relay publish my WAN IP instead of the tunnel IP? My WAN IP is changing every day, so I cannot configure it as static.
Tor attempts to auto-discover your WAN IP address, if it's not given.
