So I'm stuck. I can get the manager and the client to work and connect to the VPN in the container, and it looks like I have internet when I connect on the client, however, my public IP still shows the same whether I'm connected or not.

I need to do some more testing to be sure I'm doing this right and whether I'm really connected. Let's set up a VPN connection from the Chromebook and LGPhone. Since the LGPhone can connect to cell networks (ie outside my network) I might have the best chance with this.

Docker Setup


Mix and match published ports:

  • -p 500:500/udp -p 4500:4500/udp -p 1701:1701/tcp for L2TP/IPSec
  • -p 1194:1194/udp for OpenVPN.
  • -p 443:443/tcp for OpenVPN over HTTPS.
  • -p 5555:5555/tcp for SoftEther VPN (recommended by vendor).
  • -p 992:992/tcp is also available as alternative.

Management


Requires the SoftEther server management app available here. Unfortunately, it is only available on Windows or MacOS.
