An OpenVPN client container to use with an .ovpn file
3.4K
To run in background simply use the following oneliner below. You only need to specify:
/!\ this is a minimal configuration line. See the docker-compose usage
docker run -td -e "OVPNUSERNAME=your-username-here" -e "OVPNPASSWORD=your-password-here" -v /path/to/an/ovnp/file.ovpn:/conf.ovpn --cap-add=NET_ADMIN --device /dev/net/tun --name vpn j33f/openvpn-client
replace the -td option with -ti if you want to test if everything is good.
