Docker Container routing via VPN Connection
VPN Container
Create and configure docker container to run the VPN Client itself that other containers will route through.
ich777/openvpn-client
Download and import vpn.ovpn file into container from VPN Provider
vpn.ovpn

# Contains your private access keys, do not share publicly!
# Edit at own risk!
Ensure the connection is established by attaching to the container and running:

curl ifconfig.io
This will return the WAN IP address of the container - check to ensure it is correctly showing the VPN address.
