hello!
so i set up a transmission daemon on my htpc and it worked really well, too well perhaps (i got dinged by my isp for torrenting). so i decided to set up a vpn. i got the vpn running but i have lost the ability to use the web interface. when i go to http://[vpnipaddress]:port it does not allow me to connect. can anyone give me some help or even point me in the right direction? thanks
unable to access daemon web interface now that vpn is set up

Re: unable to access daemon web interface now that vpn is set up
i have my settings.json set up in a way that should work with rpc whitelist disabled ect. is there some setting i should be paying closer attention to?
i get nothing when i connect to localhost:9091. should that be working even if i have a vpn set up? if it should that might point to me having something going wrong with the settings on my computer, as i have also not been able to ssh into my computer locally.

Re: unable to access daemon web interface now that vpn is set up
so i logged into my linux machine to copy my json into this forum (previously i have been trying to look at it from my laptop) and localhost;9091 works from this machine! which is great so now i can start some downloads, but this machine is a htpc and being able to control transmission from my laptop is the goal. i wonder if i have the wrong local ip address? anyways heres my settings.json:

Re: unable to access daemon web interface now that vpn is set up
so i feel like i am getting to the bottom of this. after i added some torrents to test my daemon it says its trying to download them to somewhere in var/lib. this is not where i told it to download the files in settings.json, which makes it look like something is wrong and it is not loading the correct settings.json. when i installed i followed the instructions here: http://www.htpcbeginner.com/install-tra ... untu-1204/. this worked fine for me for several weeks, however when i was setting up my vpn i ended up having to reinstall lubuntu. i followed those instructions like i did the first time, in the instructions it has you copy settings.json to a seperate folder, delete the original, and then link the copied file to /etc/transmission-daemon. this link is working and my settings.json is the same as above, do you have any idea what is going wrong?

Re: unable to access daemon web interface now that vpn is set up
yeah sorry i am really new to linux, using daemons AND vpn so i dont super know what i am doing. i got to man transmission-daemon, and i see the -g config-dir option, but i cant figure out how to select it? i tried entering "transmission-daemon -g" in the terminal and it came up with a different list of options
