openvpn-client VS gluetun

I use dperson/openvpn-client, which seems to do the trick for the most part. Ive got several packages that route through it using network_mode: "service:openvpn".

Gluetun has an integrated killswitch: https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun

I used to use https://github.com/dperson/openvpn-client which has a killswitch as well.

By kill-switch I mean iptables rules that don't let anything out if there's no VPN interface up. So you don't run the risk of leaking torrent stuff through your plain-text connection.

One of my Pi servers running a series of Docker services was taken out a few months back because an apt upgrade changed the compilation target of time_t causing me to have to spend a week untangling a web of dependencies to revert to an older version of musl.

I just tested the https://github.com/dperson/openvpn-client to use my NordVPN account and could get it working, the container connects succesfully! Can I somehow share this connection to other LAN devices (eg my TV) where I cant't install a VPN client?

I have gone down a rabbit hole today trying to route all Docker container traffic through OpenVPN. Previously I have used dperson/openvpn-client, but I would prefer to run OpenVPN directly on the host. With the VPN up on the host, the Docker containers make use of the VPN connection but if it drops they continue without it. Ideally there would be a kill switch to prevent this from happening.

I am looking to use my protonvpn subscription to use with an OpenVPN container (this one), but the documentation on both Protonvpn and the repo is pretty light on how to use it.

Hey there, I successfully managed to run this OpenVPN docker Container on my DS218+. I then connected another container to use this OpenVPN container as a network. Everything works like a charm.

OpenVPN client to route my illicit content through Pakistan (CyberGhost paid VPN)

As someone who's currently using dperson/openvpn-client with a Cyberghost VPN, what are the advantages of this container?

I'd like to integrate an application on a container that's connected to an OpenVPN server. I've found a convenient client base image to build on top of, but I can't seem to find the right way to do this.

I've been using the LSIO Webtop images for a few years. They're awesome for composable desktops that I run behind a VPN for a quick and easy dirty connection at home.

Combine the Webtop images by forcing it's traffic through the Gluetun [0] container and you're up and running. These Webtop containers are nice and snappy as well thanks to Kasm. Awesome OSS.

There is gluetun, https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun, which servers a similar purpose and supports ovpn and wireguard. It's mainly used with Docker to have namespace-based proxying of traffic for a container.

I have containers a,b,c. Container C is running Gluetun (https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun) which is a VPN container.

The last couple of years I have been donating to Gluetun.

One option I could find is Gluetun, which looks very popular and actively maintained. In this case we have one single point of contact with VPN provider. The other containers should be run with network_mode: service:gluetun. If I understand correctly, those container will use VPN for every network operation, even for inter-container communication. Would they be visible for the containers not attached to gluetun (e.g. the SWAG reverse proxy)?

Try setting it up. https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun See if it works for your needs.

After some digging around, I found this project, which I think should get a lot more light on itself. It allows to setup port-forwarding on linux very easily, together with a lot of other things !

I setup Gluetun with qbittorrent in docker. Gluetun connects to the nord via manual login and I get to choose the specific servers I want it to you in its environment variables.
