OpenVPN Client

Refer to Github for the complete documentation

Installation

This container routes all crawler traffic through a VPN connection to the outside world. Follow the following steps to install this connection properly:

  1. Obtain a valid .ovpn file from your favorite VPN provider
  2. Place this file in this (/vpn) folder together with the provider's .crt certificate
  3. Make sure that the authentication within the .ovpn file is set to auth-user-pass auth.txt. If not, add this to the file manually.
  4. Replace the VPN_USER and VPN_PASSWORD environment variables with the correct values.
  5. While starting the container, docker-compose will put these credentials in the auth.txt file inside the container
  6. Find out what AS number is associated with this VPN connection. Set this AS number in the .env file at VPN_ASN. This serves as a check if connections are routed through the VPN or not.
  7. Start the VPN container together with the other parts of the pipeline by using docker compose up --build
