cbc02009 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 I would like to use the new features in 6.8.3 to route network traffic from some of my dockers through an openVPN connection using my PIA VPN, however I can't seem to find an openVPN client docker in the community plugins. Am I just blind and completely missing it? What are other people using to enable this feature? Is there a way to use docker images that aren't from community plugins? Quote Link to comment

testdasi Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 I use binhex privoxyvpn by binhex - he's an old-timer on the app store. There's also OVPN_Privoxy by alturismo - he wrote the guide on how to use the --net new feature 1 Quote Link to comment

Thanks, I haven't quite figured out how to manually add dockers to unraid. 6 hours ago, testdasi said: I use binhex privoxyvpn by binhex - he's an old-timer on the app store.

I'll look into it. Quote Link to comment

Maybe the privoxy part was throwing me off, because I haven't come across that yet.. I'll look into it. hit the 'add container' button at the bottom of the docker tab in unraid and fill in the details. as for privoxy, that's just a proxy that allows other applications to reuse the existing VPN connection of the container. prior to the introduction of --net, this was how you got other containers to reuse a single VPN connection. however, it also means that the software must support specifying a custom proxy server. with --net, you don't need to define a proxy configuration in any client running in a child container because it's network gets isolated to only use what the parent container can provide. however, it's still useful to have a proxy for non-docker applications. for example, instead of running some VPN software on your windows machine, you can change Chrome/Firefox's proxy settings to go through your docker container. 1 Quote Link to comment
phoenixdiigital Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 (edited) Hi All, Just wondering how I can use this technique to send me an email whenever someone connects to my OpenVPN server. https://forums.openvpn.net/viewtopic.php?t=10024#p21193 I've got the script working standalone obviously and have put it into /mnt/user/appdata/openvpn-as/scripts When I try to run it from the console to test though I get # ./openvpn-connection-alert-script.sh ./openvpn-connection-alert-script.sh: line 9: sendmail: command not found Anyone know how to get sendmail into the docker container? Second question is how to get it to use the UnRaid SMTP config which currently successfully can send emails from a gmail account. Edited May 14, 2021 by phoenixdiigital Quote Link to comment
