OpenVPN Proxy

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

Setup

Docker

docker run -d --device=/dev/net/tun --cap-add=NET_ADMIN \
	--dns=1.1.1.1 --dns=1.0.0.1 \
    -e "OPENVPN_FILENAME=uk-london-aes128.ovpn" \
    -e "LOCAL_NETWORK=192.168.1.0/24" \
    -e "ONLINECHECK_DELAY=900" \
    -v ./openvpn-config:/app/ovpn/config \
    -p 8080:8080 \
    andymeful/privoxy-openvpn

docker-compose.yml has been included in the repository for reference.

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

I plan to check for / automagically add this line in future.

I left in PIA London config for use if needed.
Obviously you'll need to have a PIA account.

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 900 (15 minutes)). If the request fails, OpenVPN will be restarted.
