imzami/proxy-openvpn repository overview

⁠OpenVPN Proxy

A Privoxy container with OpenVPN
Built on Alpine Linux so tiny, fast, light and awesome.

⁠Setup

⁠Docker

Use this command to set up an IPsec VPN server on Docker:

docker run -d \
    --name proxy-openvpn \
    --device=/dev/net/tun \
    --cap-add=NET_ADMIN \
    --dns=45.90.28.89 --dns=45.90.30.89 \
    -e "OPENVPN_FILENAME=imzami-aes128.ovpn" \
    -e "LOCAL_NETWORK=0.0.0.0/0" \
    -e "ONLINECHECK_DELAY=300" \
    -v ./openvpn-config:/app/ovpn/config \
    -p 98:98 \
    imzami/proxy-openvpn

⁠Volume

1 volume needs to be mapped to /app/ovpn/config within the container.
This volume should include any ovpn config files to be used and, credentials.txt.

⁠VPN Config

I've tested with PIAs ovpn configs but will probably work with any, just make sure to include the following line somewhere:

auth-user-pass /app/ovpn/config/credentials.txt

⁠Credentials

Create ./credentials.txt in the directory which is mapped to /app/ovpn/config.
On the 1st line put the username, on the 2nd line the password.

⁠Environment Variables

⁠LOCAL_NETWORK

The CIDR mask of the local IP addresses which will be acessing the proxy. This is so the response to a request makes it back to the requestee.

⁠OPENVPN_FILENAME

The .ovpn file to use. This file should be in the directory which is mapped to /app/ovpn/config.

⁠ONLINECHECK_DELAY

Will make a web request to Google every x seconds (default 300 (5 minutes)). If the request fails, OpenVPN will be restarted.
