      The container connects to the VPN and only the VPN, now you can route whatever docker containers you want through that container as a network. Now that one VPN connection can serve any container you want.

          I am a very big fan. Just be careful which provider you try to use with it as not all are created equal. I have had good luck with AirVPN.

            I can also +1 that, getting the OpenVPN key and cert was a bit complicated but other than that there weren’t any issues with AirVPN whatsoever.

      I use gluetun to route outbound traffic from some of my containers that need a VPN. qBittorrent etc. Some containers dont have the option to configure a proxy so you’d have to setup a VPN client within a container which isn’t ideal. With gluetun its easy to attach a container to it and it just works

        Neat. I never need a VPN for more than a few days at a time, but if I ever sub to one long term I’ll keep this in mind.

        Why isn’t it ideal? I’m currently using this setup with containers routed through a gluetun container connected to a vpn via wireguard, and it seems to be working fine. I’ve verified using curl inside the relevant containers to query an IP checker and I’ve also used a torrent IP checker to confirm my torrent client isn’t leaking my IP.

              Also the biggest benefit; You only need 1 VPN connection and 1 key pair for gluetun to connect everything. Most VPN providers limit the amount of active simultaneous connections. If you have lots of containers that need it then it’s not possible
