Connect my containers to NordVPN container

Blabla · 29. Februar 2020

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to protect as many services as possible throught my VPN (nordVPN). The issue is that if I have the VPN enabled services like Plex won't work anymore.
So I found this container:
https://github.com/bubuntux/nordvpn
This is how i configured it:

From the log it's corrected connected.
I then added in the Radarr container this command:
--net=container:vpn -d some/docker-containerBut if I use it I can reach radarr neither on it's normal port or the 8081.

I tried to add it as extra arguments but I recieved an error every time

What am I doing wrong?

Up, I switched to portainer so now I can use that.

Do someone know how can I tell to a container that it has to use the nordVPN container as connection?

I don´t know if you still need help with this problem but maybe I can help.

If you use the docker-compose feature, which can also be found in Portainer under the name "Stacks", you can write up all your services there and docker will create individual containers for each service, you can also tell your container to route all traffic through your VPN Container by using "network_mode: service:servicename". You will also have to add the "ports" argument to your VPN container in order to allow local access to radarr.

The following is an example docker-compose file that creates a Nordvpn and a qBittorrent Container, all torrent traffic is routed through the VPN container.
