# Ovpn docker client

How to run a openvpn client with configuration with a ovpn.com account.

Using docker image https://github.com/dperson/openvpn-client.

### How to

Run setup.sh with 4 arguments. This will download configuration, upack it and update config to work in container.

```
sh setup.sh
# example
sh setup.sh https://files.ovpn.com/ubuntu_cli/ovpn-gb-london-multihop.zip myuser mypassword ~/docker/openvpn/config
```

Update volyme path in docker-compose.yml.

If your containers need to expose ports (that use the client network), don't do expose them in their services in the compose file. Add the ports in the openvpn service.

If you need to access other containers within a container use the network subnet ip `172.21.0.0` as ip.

For more advace usage checkout link to the docker image above.
