compose-openvpn-squid

a multi-container Docker application to run a squid forward http proxy behind an OpenVPN client

how to set it up

1. download docker-compose.yml
2. put your *.ovpn file into ./openvpn
3. run docker-compose up

if everything works correctly, squid should be running behind your VPN!

how to use it

set your browser (or any other application) to use localhost:3128 as web proxy

how it works

the squid service shares the network stack of the vpn-sidecar service (Wireguard), which is tunneled through your VPN provider. to maintain local connectivity to the squid container, we proxy to it to through the web-proxy service (Nginx) using Docker container links.

note: a Wireguard version is also available
