Prerequisites

Installation

version: "3"
services:
  vpn:
    image: qmcgaw/gluetun
    container_name: vpn
    cap_add:
      - NET_ADMIN
    environment:
      - VPN_SERVICE_PROVIDER=cyberghost
      - OPENVPN_USER=<USER_PROVIDED_BY_CYBERGHOST>
      - OPENVPN_PASSWORD=<PASSWORD_PROVIDED_BY_CYBERGHOST>
      - SERVER_COUNTRIES=<YOUR_COUNTRY>
      - SERVER_HOSTNAMES=<SERVER_GROUP_PROVIDED_BY_CYBERGHOST>
    volumes:

    networks:
      - proxymedia
    restart: unless-stopped

networks:
  proxymedia:
    driver: bridge
    external: true

As I'm using a reverse proxy, the container is not mapped to any host port but is member of my proxy docker network instead. If you want to map a port, please remove all occurrences of proxymedia docker network in the compose file and add :

ports:

- <host_port>:<service_that_go_through_vpn_port>

Your VPN should be up and running !

Check on the next page how to route other containers network through that VPN
