How to install Tautulli in a FreeNAS iocage jail

I wanted to access the Internet safely and securely from my smartphone or laptop when I am connected to an untrusted network such as the WiFi of a hotel or coffee shop. A Virtual Private Network (VPN) allows you to traverse untrusted networks privately and securely as if you were on a private network. The traffic emerges from the VPN server and continues its journey to the destination.
