Let Me Containerize That VPN For You

⁠How to use this?

Drop your OpenVPN configuration file in this directory.

Let's pretend that it's called hacktheplanet.ovpn.

Then all you have to do is to run:

docker-compose run vpn hacktheplanet.ovpn

If you need a password (because your OpenVPN configuration specifies auth-user-pass) you will be prompted for it.

If the VPN server pushes routes and so forth, they will be added to your machine, because the Compose file specifies net: host so the container runs within the hosts namespace.

If you don't need to specify a password, you can use docker-compose run -d vpn hacktheplanet.ovpn to start the container in the background.

If you OpenVPN configuration needs extra files (certificates etc) you can drop them in this directory too.

⁠How to fix DNS

To let OpenVPN change your resolv.conf file you need to add 2 scripts to your configuration to trigger the Alpine provided scripts.

up /usr/share/openvpn/up.sh
down /usr/share/openvpn/down.sh

⁠Why?

Because we're the containerati and we like when things are neatly arranged in their boxes⁠.
