qdm12 · 2024-08-16T07:37:33Z

Fixed! Please try pulling the image 😉

ERROR [vpn] getting VPN assigned IP address: network interface tun0 not found was due to just the VPN being torn down due to being unhealthy (vpn] stopping). The real error that got fixed was ERROR [vpn] port forwarding for the first time: custom port forwarding obtention is not supported: for privatevpn. This was a simple bug due to me updating this branch on top of the master branch where code was changed to support multiple forwarded ports, but the privatevpn was still on the single-port support, so that was the mismatch fixed in 5d3526c

varac · 2024-08-31T00:52:05Z

Should this also work for wireguard ?
I'm getting

...
INFO [port forwarding] starting
ERROR [vpn] starting port forwarding service: port forwarding for the first time: port forwarding not supported for this VPN server

Using qmcgaw/gluetun:latest(I tried :2285 as well) and:

      VPN_PORT_FORWARDING: "on"
      VPN_PORT_FORWARDING_PROVIDER: privatevpn

pzmarzly · 2025-02-01T20:04:53Z

@varac I confirm port forwarding doesn't work for any Wireguard server. I'll add this information to PrivateVPN documentation in qdm12/gluetun-wiki#134
