zerotier-docker VS dockerMullvadVPN

The docker-compose.yml I followed is here: https://github.com/zyclonite/zerotier-docker/blob/main/README-router.md. My environment is a zerotier docker container running in Ubuntu 22.04.2 running on bare metal Intel NUC 5th gen.

You can also check out the source code of that projects Dockerfile to see how they set it up: https://github.com/zyclonite/zerotier-docker/blob/main/Dockerfile

You can search for ZeroTier on software.openSUSE.org to see there are a few community repos with zerotier. Personally I now use the docker container version https://github.com/zyclonite/zerotier-docker

I used this guide to make a docker compose with qbittorrent bound through openvpn. I've had no issues with speed.

This is something that was worrying me a bit. I thought about running a sidecar but not sure. I found this and this and was hoping one of them would work, but I'll see this once I get to it.

Hi there, I'm setting up a docker config to use mullvad via openvpn following this tutorial

Or a more manual approach with more options: https://github.com/nickkjolsing/dockerMullvadVPN/blob/master/README.md

I set up a Mullvad docker container and a transmission docker container, routed through the Mullvad. I tested a 5 GB download, expecting router would see the traffic as TLS. It saw it as DNS. It sees nothing it considers torrent traffic.

After several hours of tinkering I managed to finally have a docker container running in container station that has access to the internet and is finally using my mullvad-openvpn configuration files. I've used this tutorial, which is not QNAP specific https://github.com/nickkjolsing/dockerMullvadVPN/blob/master/README.md I followed the steps and created a compose file, using the +Application function in Container Station GUI The Container starts up and connects to the vpn server flawlessly. I know that, because in the console I can see the OpenVPN message: "Initialization Sequence Completed" However, before I can /bin/sh into the container to confirm if the container is really connecting to the internet through VPN tunnel, the container keeps resetting itself. It just stops for a few seconds, and then starts up again, establishing connection to the vpn service provider (mullvad). I already tried different options in the compose file in line restart: unless-stopped (I tried: always and never) But it does not changes the behaviour. I know I do not have much memory (TS251+, 2GB RAM) But one openvpn container should be managable

Here's the instructions that I followed: https://github.com/nickkjolsing/dockerMullvadVPN
