Network Namespaced NordVPN & rtorrent

This is my approach for running NordVPN in a network namespace, and then running rtorrent in that netns.

I did this on Fedora 39 in November 2023.

NordVPN Details

You need to get the wireguard details that the NordVPN client uses to get the private key, local ip, and local port number. This post is helpful.

Python zipapp web apps

What's a zipapp?

This concept is very much like .jar or .war archives in Java.

NOTE: The built .pyz zipapp can run on both Python 2 & 3 but you can only build .pyz zipapps with Python 3.5 or later.
