Once started, you can take a look at the logs to figure out whether a connection to the VPN could be established. Verifying that your VPN container is working With the authentication file created and the OpenVPN file copied, your OpenVPN Docker container is ready and can be started.
#Openvpn unraid setup password
Open the file and enter your VPN username on the first line and your password on the second. In the same directory ( /mnt/user/appdata/openvpn-client/) you will want to create a new file titled vpn.auth. Rename the file to vpn.ovpn and copy it to the folder /mnt/user/appdata/openvpn-client/ OpenVPN-Client created. That way you should be getting the best performance while still remaining anonymous. I recommend you go for the closest location to where you are. Once extracted, you will find numerous files in the downloaded folder, which will allow you to connect to different locations. Your VPN has to provide OpenVPN (.ovpn) files for this setup to work There are a number of comparable Docker containers available in Unraid’s Community Applications, but I can guarantee that the one mentioned above works. This container will be responsible for connecting to the VPN, through which other containers can route their traffic.
#Openvpn unraid setup install
To start things off, you are going to want to install the community application OpenVPN-Client ( dperson/openvpn-client). Installing and setting up an OpenVPN client With Windscribe and PIA, I know there is no rule forbidding me from using this setup, and I haven’t heard of any other VPN providers forbidding it either. This way you will only use a single slot for all traffic because there is only one application directly connecting to the VPN. In my opinion, the better alternative is to use a single OpenVPN Docker container on Unraid and route any number of applications through it. If I were to set up each container individually, I would soon max out my account. For example, Private Internet Access, which is one of the VPN providers I use, allows up to 10 simultaneous connections. While there is nothing inherently bad about these Docker containers, they do have one major drawback: You use up one of your VPN slots for every application you configure.
