How to use it on linux

[zara206]

I'm confused, I set up my windscribe container using this, how do I configured it so I can use it on my client?
after executing I get nothing in docker ps, Connect-a-container-to-gluetun doesn't give much information and adding --network=container:gluetun cause docker to throw error

docker run -it --rm --cap-add=NET_ADMIN -e VPNSP=windscribe -e VPN_TYPE=openvpn -e OPENVPN_USER=myuser -e OPENVPN_PASSWORD=mypass -e REGION=Netherlands qmcgaw/gluetun

ERROR cannot create TUN device file node: operation not permitted

That's your problem, see the wiki page on tun device errors https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun/wiki/TUN-device-errors

I can't seem to follow the fix, I can't find anything about lxc container or /etc/pve/lxc/*.conf, I used rootless installation of docker, could that be the reasons?

[qdm12]

There are different sections in the wiki page, the LXC is one of them, you can try the others.

What you can try is

• --device /dev/net/tun
• Run with --privileged if that doesn't work. There might be a better way, but essentially this container needs root to fiddle with low level networking/vpn.
