bios/openvpn-privoxy repository overview

Fork from andymeful/privoxy-openvpn

⁠OpenVPN Proxy

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

⁠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 \
    bios/openvpn-privoxy

⁠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.
