# /etc/sysconfig/transmission-daemon | |
INTERFACE=ppp0 # Set this to the interface you want the daemon to bind to | |
if /sbin/ifconfig $INTERFACE >>/dev/null 2>&1; then | |
BIND_ADDR="`/sbin/ifconfig $INTERFACE | awk '$1 == \"inet\" {print $2}' | awk -F: '{print $2}'`" | |
else | |
BIND_ADDR="127.0.0.1" | |
fi | |
# These are your standard daemon arguments | |
DAEMON_ARGS="--blocklist --auth --allowed \"127.*.*.*\" --logfile /var/log/transmission/transmission.log" | |
# This binds the daemon to the IP address of the interface $INTERFACE | |
DAEMON_ARGS="$DAEMON_ARGS --bind-address-ipv4 $BIND_ADDR" |
Should BIND_ADDR be replaced with my IP address?
@pa-0 Yes, the BIND_ADDR
is the IP address of the network interface that you want transmission to use. So if your eth0
has an IP of 1.2.3.4
and you set BIND_ADDR
to 1.2.3.4
then transmission will use eth0
.
Thanks!

Hi. I'm assuming this is quite useful together with selective routing and getting Transmission-daemon to use a VPN. But I'm not 100% up to speed in where to put this and wether or not my interface is ppp0 or tun11. Would you mind helping me out a little?
I know how to make the file executable and to navigate around the system, so I'm not in need of THAT much help :)
