  • Nooooo…that’s not what I’m saying.

    I’m seriously not trying to be rude here, but I went and read the rest of the thread just now. Your understanding of processes, networks and VPNs is wildly misinformed. I think you need to spend some time learning about each before you go and dismiss what everyone is telling you here, which is that you’re trying to make an overcomplicated and very inefficient VPN right now.

    Running a torrent client through a proxy doesn’t isolated a process. Especially not when you’re pushing the traffic through a local proxy. You also don’t need to forward any ports.

    Connect to the VPN, make sure your traffic is routing there properly, and you’re done. OR, you really want a proxy, you setup a proxy. You don’t need both, and neither gains you any security. If you’re concerned about process isolation, that’s a whole other thing you should read up on.








  • Maybe I’m wrong, but if it’s whole building heating, doesn’t that mean it’s some sort of boiler and radiator system situation? I don’t think you have actual control of the heat temperature with a thermostat in that case.

    I’m not sure how AC would work in this situation if it was also via water cooling and such if you also flushing cold water through the radiators system. I don’t think you’d want any kind of “smart” thermostat on it if so.
