I think this has something to do with how networking works.
When connected wireless to my car with a VPN active on my phone, my phone won’t connect to my cars WiFi network to initiate the android auto connection.
When connected by USB with VPN active on my phone it’s not issue, android auto connects and my VPN is active.
I remember seeing someone smarter explain this a lot better online somewhere then I can at the moment. But simply trying to connect wireless with a VPN active will not work.

NarrativeBear@lemmy.worldto homeassistant@lemmy.world•Are there solar powered window blinds?English31·2 months agoSolar glass yes. Solar blinds I don’t know of anything that would be thin and flexible enough to roll and unroll everyday.
There are some think flexable solar panels, but nothing that I seen that you could use as a replacement blind in a roller blind.
Take a look into solar glass, you can retrofit some of these products right onto existing windows on the inside.
The one advantage to sollar glass is you don’t have to keep your blinds down all the time especially if you want to enjoy a sunny day.

The TrueNAS server has a Unraid samba share mounted. Within TrueNAS you setup a pull task where it copies files from your remote system to keep the directory in sync. Any changes on my unraid samba share are backed up to my TrueNAS share on a predetermined schedule.
You might want to look into the pull task on your TrueNAS which will be a lot easier then trying to push files from your OpenMediavault.
NarrativeBear@lemmy.worldto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Need suggestions for setting up backups between a local and remote serverEnglish2·2 months agoIf both servers are running TrueNAS (scale or core) the best way to backup a TrueNAS system to another is by using zfs replication.

You could also do the following.
-
Setup site2site VPN connection of your choosing. IPSEC maybe.
-
Temporally do the setup of the secondary TrueNAS at Site 1, unless you are sure your Site 2 is good.
-
Configure the second TrueNAS to Pull data from the primary unit. FYI, pull configuration uses it’s own login credentials is a higher level of security.
-
Migrate the second TrueNas unit to the site 2. This way you aren’t diagnosing both the Pull config and VPN settings at the same time.

Take a look at sonoff smart plugs. They work well as they are, but if you want to take them offline/local and feel up to the task you can flash them with custom firmware.

This ones a little more challenging to setup, be aware you need to selfhost with a public address. Or personal VPN to your home with Tailscale or Wireguard.
