openvpn-client VS openwrt

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.

If your current router supports a custom firmware like openWRT then you could do this without having to buy a new one.

Official announcement: https://openwrt.org/

Unfortunately, I can't create an account via Github on the openwrt site.

Anyone else having trouble reaching openwrt.org right now? I can't get the forums, main page or downloads. I've done plenty of troubleshooting and there isn't anything else on my network having trouble reaching anything else on the internet.

On the router. openwrt.org has lots of great documentation that lays out exactly what you're looking for and then some.
