matthiaslohr/f5fpc repository overview

⁠F5 VPN client

This Docker image provides the F5 VPN Client, which can be used without local installation. The docker image allows two operating modes:

• Using F5 VPN client with local installation like a local installed VPN client.
• Use the running Docker container as router/gateway to avoid VPN split tunneling. In this mode, the only modification to your local system is a route for your VPN subnets to the running Docker container.

⁠Setup

• Install Docker. Important: Do not use the packages provided by your distribution packages sources. Use the officical resources from docker: https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/⁠.

⁠Mac

• If you want to use the gateway mode: For automatic route setup on Mac you need to install iproute2mac via homebrew.
