What it does

Gluetun packages OpenVPN and WireGuard client support in a container for multiple VPN providers, with DNS-over-TLS and proxy options.

Gluetun is useful when an application container needs a controlled VPN route. It supports several providers through OpenVPN or WireGuard and bundles DNS and proxy capabilities in the container. Begin with the provider-specific configuration and the way other containers will share its network path. You supply the provider account or compatible endpoint.
