Is it possible to have both the VPN client and server running on RPI? I'm currently running a openvpn server in my RPI. I'm able to connect to my openvpn server from mobile network. But I'm also running torrent client in RPI. So I thought of using a VPN client in RPI that uses PIA VPN service.

Does it make sense to have a VPN client and server, running on the same network( also on the same device -RPI)? Is it valid?

If it is possible to have both the VPN client and server running on RPI, can I make torrenting service alone to use the VPN client?

You have openvn already running in --mode server on your Raspberry Pi. So it is no problem to start openvpn just as second process with --client option and connect to the other remote openvpn server. Haven't tried it but I don't see why it should not work. The only trouble I see is with routing. I think you will get two interfaces tun0 and tun1 and you have to route the different traffic to the right destination. It is just one command with openvpn and the right options. Try it.

    The routing will be fine as long as you use different address ranges.
