I’ve been using PureVPN’s VPN service for about a year now, and I’m running it through the “passthroughvpn” Docker container to route specific traffic through the VPN.
I use the WireGuard protocol because it’s straightforward, but the problem is that I have to regenerate the connection every week, possibly because I haven’t requested a static IP.
Are there any solutions to avoid having to create a new connection every week? Alternatively, would it be better to switch to OpenVPN? If so, should I use UDP or TCP?
A client shouldn’t need a new config to connect to the host when it’s the client’s IP that changed, right?
I’m using AirVPN, and when I generate a config, whether WG or OVPN, it continues to work indefinitely, and I’m on a different IP very nearly every day.
I don’t use a container like gluetun or others, just unraid>settings>vpn manager, and import the config there. Containers can be placed on whichever network you like.
Unless I’m missing the giant fireball that’s coming right for us…
So I can directly import the file into the VPN manager even for my Docker containers’ connections to the outside? But from the local network, they are still reachable, right?
Actually, the way I’m using the VPN now, the .wg or .opvn files also contain an IP address, which is where the VPN is located, and this data never changes. It’s just that after 4 days, the connection expires and I have to redo everything from scratch, which seems absurd to me…
