DockOvpn is a stateless, out-of-the-box OpenVPN server packaged as a Docker image that starts in under two seconds and requires no persistent storage. It serves client .ovpn configuration files over a built-in one-shot HTTP server so users can connect with any standard OpenVPN client.

Use cases

• spin up a personal OpenVPN server on any Docker host in seconds
• self-host a VPN without managing certificates or persistent storage
• quickly create a secure tunnel to a remote server or cloud VM
• distribute client.ovpn configs to Windows, Mac, and Linux clients
• run a disposable VPN server for temporary secure access

When to choose

• you want a zero-configuration OpenVPN server with a single docker run command
• you need a stateless VPN that can be recreated on demand without backups
• you prefer OpenVPN protocol compatibility over newer protocols like WireGuard

When to avoid

• you need WireGuard or other modern VPN protocols with better performance
• you require multi-user management, accounting, or a web admin UI
• you need persistent client configurations and long-term certificate management
