openvpn-install VS docker-pihole-unbound

https://github.com/angristan/openvpn-install or if you want to be free from your distro's OpenSSL version: https://github.com/ix-ai/openvpn (recommended, just rebuild the container if it becomes outdated)

Buy your own cloud server and run https://github.com/angristan/openvpn-install to make it TCP over 443

Hey! I set up an OpenVPN Server on an Ubuntu Server VM inside ESXi 6.7 using this script: https://github.com/angristan/openvpn-install I need to access the local services running on the, e.g. 192.168.xxx.xxx, which works just fine. But I dont want all my network traffic being routed through the VPN Server. So if i reach out to 192.168.xxx.xxx I get the Service running on this IP in the local network where the server is in, but if I try to reach e.g. google.com the request does not get routed through the VPN. How can I achieve this? OpenVPN-Host: Ubuntu Server 22.04.3 LTS | OpenVPN 2.5.5 Connecting Client: EndeavourOS | OpenVPN 2.6.6

EDIT: I should add that the setup was done with angristan's OpenVPN installer. There's nothing particularly interesting about the conf files.

Very good, does it support https://github.com/angristan/openvpn-install ?

Pretty trivial actually. I set up my server on a VPS with https://github.com/angristan/openvpn-install, it generates the configs that I deployed to my devices, and when connected they can see each other. For resolving the domain name you'd need to set up the DNS during the wizard.

I'm running the chriscrowe 'one container' build for pihole for ad-blocking (https://github.com/chriscrowe/docker-pihole-unbound), and unbound for private recursive DNS which is running great on my Zima board.

I believe my problem stems from when I tried to install the pihole-unbound container (https://github.com/chriscrowe/docker-pihole-unbound)

I've got lucky enough that I could get in Nov-19 a Raspberry Pi 4 with 4GB of RAM that I use as a NAS+Pi-Hole + Unbound +Other stuff (running Void MUSL of course) and instead of an SD I use an HDD for the OS + a 5TB HDD for the data and even fully loaded all cores it barely consumes more than 22W.

I was only able to get pihole macvlan approach working with an ssh access + docker-compose approach. I used the crowe one-container approach Still had to enable Open vSwitch for the network in Synology first.

You can follow the doc to do those install steps within your own Dockerfile. Or you can use the commonly recommended chriscrowe image, which does what I’m describing.

When I started experimenting with this topic chriscrowe's was a baseline for stuff that I tryed out, so kudos to chris!

It seems you’re looking at a wrong file. Here is a docker file for one-container solution: https://github.com/chriscrowe/docker-pihole-unbound/blob/55c88afaf8d76958923adc38f4c12a80e1cb9084/one-container/pihole-unbound/Dockerfile

2) you can use something like this maintained GitHub repo. Just decide if you want to use 1 or 2 containers and modify the ip and gateways, etc accordingly.
