A Docker container that runs an OpenVPN client so other containers can route their traffic through a VPN connection. It is configured via environment variables and shares its network stack with linked containers.
Use cases
- route docker container traffic through a vpn
- run openvpn client in a container
- share vpn connection with other containers
- hide torrent client ip with vpn container
- docker-compose vpn sidecar for containers
When to choose
- You want other Docker containers to send all traffic through an OpenVPN tunnel
- You prefer containerized infrastructure over installing OpenVPN on the host
- You use docker-compose and want a reusable VPN sidecar container
When to avoid
- You need a VPN server rather than a client
- You use a VPN protocol other than OpenVPN, such as WireGuard
- You run non-Docker workloads and can install OpenVPN directly on the host
