Need instructions setting up Gluetun container with NordVPN as a provider in conjunction with Tailscale on 6.12.14

Featured Replies

Can anyone point me to instructions on how to setup a Gluetun Container using NordVPN with Tailscale as my "personal LAN".  I am super new and this may be simple, but I cant seem to find instructions for the latest stable release.  SpaceInvaderone has instructions for Unraid7, but I am way too unskilled as of yet to upgrade to a beta or rc version.  What I am hoping to accomplish is having Gluetun as an exit node for all of my .arr dockers and pretty much all traffic from server. (still researching .arr plugins and how to set them up, just to let you know how new I am.  If anyone has a list of those and instructions I would appreciate those as well).  Wanted to integrate Tailscale for easy access to server as well as being able to only use one connection from Nord account to all devices connected on Tailscale network.  Not sure if that makes any sense, but my brain wants to believe it is possible.  Thanks in advance for any and all help.

This is easy - For each Docker container you want to route through it, set the network type to "None", enable the "advanced view" at the top right, then add:

--net=container:gluetun

to the extra parameters field, where "gluetun" is the name of the Docker container to route through.

I'm not sure it's possible to route all server traffic through the VPN with Unraid 6.

 

Unraid 7 adds a new feature where you can add Docker containers to the tailnet (https://docs.unraid.net/unraid-os/manual/security/tailscale/#adding-tailscale-to-docker-containers). This lets any devices in your tailnet route through the VPN Docker container as a Tailscale exit node. Unraid 6 doesn't have this feature. Even with that feature, I'm not sure if you could route all the server's traffic through it.

So I am already running into issues.  I got GluetunVPN installed and was trying to test it with a Firefox container.  When I try to make the changes to the firefox container it errors out.  If I install with no changes it is good, but if I try to do the network to none and change the extra parameters it errors out.  This is already in the field "--shm-size=1gb".  Errors out if I try to add info after it or if I delete it and try to enter alone.  Any thoughts?

My knowledge was a bit outdated. Making the changes to the extra parameters should still work, but you can actually do it in the UI now without going to advanced mode: Select "Container" for network type, then the right container for "Container Network"

If that still doesn't work, please provide the error message :)

Much appreciated.  I deleted all of my containers, updated from 7.0.0rc2 to 7.0.0 and am going to give it another go.  I really shouldn't be all that complicated I thought.  VPN, arr suite, Plex.  Maybe backup for our phones and maybe some Home automations if I feel froggy.  Not trying to host anything or any weird stuff.  Thanks again
