~~I'm currently having a dumb issue if you'd happen to have some insight. I have windscribe. I'm using linux (debian). I installed the Windscribe package from the site and I have the same GUI I'm used to from Windows.~~
~~When I connect to my static IP, my ethernet IP doesn't change.~~
~~How do I ensure that I'm on my static IP in Linux so that I can actually use port-forwarding? Because at the moment I cannot turn on my VPN and have Plex, Overseer, any containers accessible outside my network. I can only see them on localhost. Eventually I'd like to get a domain redirect, but that's a separate issue that will be easier once I have a solid answer on getting my VPN always on and split tunneling in it set up properly.~~
~~I'm losing my shit here cause I can't find anything about this dumb problem online and it's such a simple thing that I'm used to just working lol.~~
Leaving that for posterity. I reread your comment. Their Linux app so looks to be parity equivalent with Windows, I believe both use your account online to set up port forwarding. However CLI Windscribe I believe is missing the option. But in any case, what you said my be related to the issue I'm having.
Anyway, fully +1 on Windscribe. I've been using them for years and they've always been quite to respond, transparent with what they've been served, and were active online on forums. Used a +50 code for quite some time and finally wanted unlimited and port-forwarding so I bought a sub and a static IP. Seems well priced as well, I'm paying about $25/year I think.
About tour técnical problem.
Just setup staticip un /etc/network/interfaces.
Search thatpath and static there is a lot of material about it.
(:
I did do that but then my global connection to Plex stopped working entirely and localhost stopped working as well. Granted, I hadn't set it up to the VPN's IP yet!
I'll keep this in mind for the next run, thank you so much!
Nice you to know its running. :)
