Alpine with OpenVPN and Privoxy to use your NordVPN account.

Features

• Connects to the recommended server for you! Provided by the API.
• Reconnects if the load is to high on a NordVPN server (Depends on setup CRON).
• Healthcheck if the connection is not secure.
• Privoxy to use it elsewhere, for private browsing!
• Connect your other containers, so they have a secured connection as well. A cool Docker feature :)
• It will download the ovpn files daily! So you will stay up-to-date with the latest ovpn files.
• Connect to the country that you select! The API will find the fastest server.

Prerequisite

You will need a NordVPN account.

Environment Variables

• USERNAME Username of your account
• PASSWORD Password of your account
• LOCAL_NETWORK - The CIDR mask of the local IP network (e.g. 192.168.1.0/24, 10.1.1.0/24). This is needed to response to your client.
• CRON You can set this variable to change the default check of every 15 minutes. This will be used to check if the LOAD is still OK. This can be changed using the CRON syntax.
• LOAD If the load is > 75 on a NordVPN server, OpenVPN will be restarted and connects to the recommended server for you! This check will be done every 15 minutes by CRON.
• COUNTRY Optional, you can choose your own country by using the two-letter country codes that are supported by NordVPN.
• PROTOCOL Optional, default set to tcp, you can change it to udp.

Start container

docker run -d \
--cap-add=NET_ADMIN \
--device=/dev/net/tun \
--name=vpn \
--dns=103.86.96.100 \
--dns=103.86.99.100 \
--restart=always \
-e "USERNAME=<nordvpn_username>" \
-e "PASSWORD=<nordvpn_password>" \
-e "LOCAL_NETWORK=192.168.1.0/24" \
-v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro \
-v ovpn-data:/app/ovpn/config \
-p 8118:8118 \
jeroenslot/nordvpn-proxy:latest 

Now you can connect other containers to use this connection:

For example:

docker run -d \
--network="container:vpn" \
imagename
