Running an instance of openvpn-as image for private VPN

How To
1

I have the thought that I would like to run a simple VPN server for my own use, using the openvpn/openvpn-as image. Looking at the guide at Official Docker VPN Server with Access Server | OpenVPN, there are a couple things that I can’t see as options, which may mean they aren’t supported:

  1. --cap-add=NET_ADMIN
  2. -p 1194:1194/udp
  3. -v

I’m not sure all of these are necessary, as it’s been ages since I’ve fired up an OpenVPN server, and I don’t remember much about it. Are these capabilities within the current or projected Koyeb service?

Hi @Steven_Schram

Welcome to Koyeb!

For 1., you can run an instance as privileged and you will have that capability.
Unfortunately, we currently only support HTTP/HTTP2 based connections, so you won’t be able to use a Koyeb instance as OpenVPN server.
