I honestly can’t get my head around this. I have a machine with Linux (endeavouros), and docker with a few containers. Since I want all the traffic from this system to go through the VPN, do I need to set up gluetun? I think not, but I am not 100% sure…

I simply enable the killswitch in mullvad settings and get all the Linux isos I need. But I’m thinking to keep gluetun enabled since I’ve already configured it

It’s convenient if you want to see gluetun up as the only way a container (say, your torrenting container) can get to the open net, in the interest of avoiding getting directly pinged by DMCA rats. That way, if the VPN goes down, your torrent client isn’t just downloading stuff nakedly. Also, if you want to set up different VPN connections for different containers, it’s pretty easy to set a handful of replica containers for that too.
Nope
Ok, thanks. So if I’m getting this right every container should return the VPN IP with curl ifconfig.me
That’s correct and a good way to test it out.
Yeah, when you have the VPN running all of your external traffic should go through it. It starts to get complicated when you only want a specific container/user to use/bypass the VPN.
Perfect, thanks!
Yes
I ran a Linux VM and just had Mullvad app installed and always on, and that was all I needed
And that works too. Containers are just a way to do it more efficiently. Better for weaker hardware and energy usage.
Yeah I know, I use Gluetun now, I was just answering OPs question.
