Hi there,

I wish to run a wireguard docker through a glueton docker so that i can access my paid vpn from my own server. This is what i want:

client -> wireguard docker(selfhosted) -> gluetun docker(connected to paid VPN) -> internet

I have posted before with this issue but still cannot get it to work as expected. I am not sure if there is issues with the wireguard docker not being able to route back through from gluetun as it is trying to force traffic through the tunnel.

Any help would be much appreciated.

docker-compose.yml:

services:
  gluetun_test:
    image: qmcgaw/gluetun
    container_name: gluetun_test
    cap_add:
      - NET_ADMIN
    ports:
      - "5010:5000"
      - "5011:8000"
     # Port of the WireGuard VPN server
      - "36843:36843/udp"
    environment:
      - VPN_SERVICE_PROVIDER=custom
      - VPN_TYPE=wireguard
      - WIREGUARD_PUBLIC_KEY=
      - WIREGUARD_PRIVATE_KEY=
      - VPN_ENDPOINT_IP=ip
      - VPN_ENDPOINT_PORT=port
      - WIREGUARD_ADDRESSES="10.2.0.2/32"

  wireguard:
    image: linuxserver/wireguard:latest
    container_name: wireguard
    cap_add:
      - NET_ADMIN
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
    volumes:
      - ./wireguard/config:/config
#    ports:
      # Port for WireGuard-UI
#      - "5010:5000"
      # Port of the WireGuard VPN server
#      - "36843:36843/udp"

Gluetun can expose a http or socks proxy. No need to setup a vpn to access your paid VPN..

If you want access outside your LAN to your paid VPN it's best to setup a WG tunnel separate from docker, on the firewall. Than connect to your personal WG tunnel en set the http/socks proxy.

It that makes sense to you.

I second this. It is probably the simplest way to get it working.

So to clarify, what are you wanting to happen and what is happening instead?

I suspect they are both using the same interface wg0. I did a quick Google and it looks like you can do the following in gluetun

WIREGUARD_INTERFACE=wg1

This is my suspicion as you're using essentially two wireguard instances at the same time.

Why do you need two VPNs? Does it work without the local Wireguard VPN?

[–] gobbling871 3 points 1 year ago

For accessing your VPN network outside of your LAN, there's the shadowsocks option in the gluetun wiki.
