This tutorial will explain how to setup and run an OpenVPN container with the help of Docker.
OpenVPN provides a way to create virtual private networks (VPNs) using TLS (evolution of SSL) encryption. OpenVPN protects the network traffic from eavesdropping and man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks. The private network can be used to securely connect a device, such as a laptop or mobile phone running on an insecure WiFi network, to a remote server that then relays the traffic to the Internet. Private networks can also be used to securely connect devices to each other over the Internet.
Docker provides a way to encapsulate the OpenVPN server process and configuration data so that it is more easily managed. The Docker OpenVPN image is prebuilt and includes all of the necessary dependencies to run the server in a sane and stable environment. Scripts are included to significantly autom
