Your VPN is slow and you can't access outside world while in VPN?

This is a docker container to isolate your VPN connection so you can freely have conference call and access your intranet at the same time.

Requirements

1. You need docker engine installed
2. Your VPN profile (.ovpn, single file with certs)
3. Your VPN must use cert passphrase only (not username/password)

How to build & use

1. edit target.ovpn to have same content as your .ovpn profile, add this line: askpass /openvpn/remote-pass.txt
2. edit target-pass.txt and put your ovpn passphrase
3. build the container: docker build -t <yourimagename> .
4. run the container: docker run -d -p 1337:1337 -p 1338:1338 --restart=always --name=vpnclient --cap-add NET_ADMIN <yourimagename> 4.1 edit public/autoproxy.pac and specify which domain you want to go through the VPN
5. set your browser proxy (•) to SOCKS5: localhost:1337
6. open your browser and try to visit your intranet

• i recommend firefox for this as it does not modify system proxy
