What is OpenVPN?

OpenVPN is an open-source software application that implements virtual private network (VPN) techniques for creating secure point-to-point or site-to-site connections in routed or bridged configurations and remote access facilities. It uses a custom security protocol that utilizes SSL/TLS for key exchange. It is capable of traversing network address translators (NATs) and firewalls.

VPN configuration

To make your HOST connect to your vpn, just place your .ovpn as /vpn/vpn.conf in your volume and then run:

sudo docker run --net="host" --restart=always --cap-add=NET_ADMIN --device /dev/net/tun --name vpn \
            -v /some/path:/vpn -d luisehk/openvpn-client
