I have a subscription to a commercial VPN provider and would like to
configure certain applications to always use VPN connections as far as
the provider while everything else goes through as normal. Note that
this needs to work for arbitrary remote sites so the VPN is basically
acting as a proxy rather than me controlling both ends of the
connection, so e.g. an SSH tunnel won't do it.
I looked into this a while ago and there are several suggestions on the
Web as to how to do this on Linux, but those I tried didn't work for
me. At least one idea seemed to involve setting up an alternate network
name space with its own routing, but it's been a while and I'm afraid I
didn't take note of the details.
Hi Patrick,
Stéphane Graber of Ubuntu's LXC/D container world has done several
things with VPN from passing the vpn to a container where the container
sees it as just another eth device, to managing his sundry VPN
connections via namespacing.
His words:
"""
The code is available at: git clone
git://github.com/stgraber/vpn-container. Then it’s as simple as:
./start-vpn VPN-NAME CONFIG
"""
The approach is discussed at https://www.stgraber.org/category/lxc/.
Search for VPN in containers for the specific section.
Thanks. The versions I'd seen before didn't involve containers but I'll
take a look.
Decided to try this, but there's a dependency on something called
uidmap which doesn't seem to exist for Fedora (according to both dnf
search and Google).
I'm not sure about uidmap. What about newuidmap and newgidmap?
