FTP via intermediary computer or network binding?
0
Linux Server 18.04 installed vsftpd as my FTP server. This machine is also running openVPN, but when VPNs tun0 is active obviously my IP changes. Is there anyway i can route FTP traffic to connect to another machine on my network and direct it to the server like when i ssh via a jumpbox, or is there anyway to bind vsftpd to use my actual network and ignore tun0?

(1) Don't think in terms of "my IP". It's not a single one. Each network interface has an IP (or possibly several). (2) What you have is a routing problem, where you distinguish between FTP traffic and the rest. You can do this with (3)iptablesand connection tracking, or, simpler, (4) create a network namespace, and runvsftpdin the namespace wheretun0and associated routing rules are not visible.

If you have no idea how to do anything of that, please read up on networking basics, routing, network namespaces, andiptables. And plan some time for that. I could give a step-by-step description, but very likely it won't work in your particular configuration, and without understanding what is happening, you won't be able to debug it and make it work. Here is a related question about a bridged network namespace, if you want to experiment with namespaces.

OK, so following a tut on creating namespaces i have done such ns1, i can now load a program in the namespace, to only see 1 interface device of which i have 2. eth0 & tun0. loading a service seems to work just fine, and if tun0 is removed say by killing the vpn service my program does indeed drop... however it somehow rebinds to eth0 after about 45 seconds... why? i though when i created the v-link to tun0 and added the iptable Allow/Rejects eth0 should in theory be "invisible"...

i did this step by step only dff is where the code says eth0 i replaced it with tun0 blogs.igalia.com/dpino/2016/04/10/network-namespaces
