Occasionally I see people mention gluetun.
- What’s gluetun? Seems like it’s a VPN client? What’s special about it?
- How do you use it in your setup?
- Do I need to know about this if I use Tailscale on the host for connecting to my VPN?
- Would gluetun allow me to use an additional VPN provider for certain apps without messing with the host Tailscale?
It works with containers so I can create a setup where requests sent from the container goes through the VPN. I use it for my Redlib setup to bypass rate limiting by rotating its IP regularly. Unless you have your host to route all traffic through a certain node, it should work independently from Tailscale.
