Gluetun Docker VPN Client adds AirVPN support!

[Shar Edcoin 3]

For anybody wanting to utilize AirVPN via a Docker VPN client container, Gluetun has now added AirVPN support for both OpenVPN and WireGuard connections. The container itself is very lightweight and fast.

Here's an example of a Portainer Stack using Gluetun as the path to the Internet for a Firefox container:

version: '3.7'
services:
    gluetun:
        image: qmcgaw/gluetun:latest
        container_name: gluetun
        cap_add:
            - NET_ADMIN
        ports:
            - 8100:8000 # Remote Control VPN
            - 3000:3000 # Firefox
        environment:
            - VPN_SERVICE_PROVIDER=airvpn
            - VPN_TYPE=openvpn
            - SERVER_COUNTRIES=Canada
            - OPENVPN_CIPHERS=AES-256-GCM
            - PUID=1000
            - PGID=1000
            - TZ=America/Denver
        volumes:
            - /data/openvpn:/gluetun # /data/openvpn contains client.crt and client.key

    firefox:
        image: lscr.io/linuxserver/firefox:latest
        container_name: firefox
        environment:
            - PUID=1000
            - PGID=1000
            - TZ=America/Denver
        volumes:
            - /data/firefox:/config
        shm_size: '1gb'
        network_mode: 'service:gluetun'
        depends_on:
            - gluetun

You'll need to add client.crt and client.key files to the directory you have mapped to /config for OpenVPN. For WireGuard, change the VPN_TYPE= to wireguard, and add WIREGUARD_PRIVATE_KEY=, WIREGUARD_PRESHARED_KEY=, and WIREGUARD_ADDRESSES= environment variables to your stack. In both cases, you can get the data you need from the Config Generator in the AirVPN Client Area. The Gluetun container can also be configured to provide an HTTP or Shadowsocks proxy to your entire network. AirVPN rocks, and the ability to connect to it through a Docker VPN Client container makes it that much better!

Honorable mention, similar thing but with AirVPN's Hummingbird client:

For noobs like me, the client.crt and client.key files are user.crt and user.key that you download from AirVPN client area.

This works great to connect to the AirVPN. Though, does anyone know what is the trick to getting the port forwarding to work through gluetun? I added FIREWALL_VPN_INPUT_PORTS as an environment variable for the gluetun service, but when I test if the port is open on the AirVPN site, I get an error that says "Connection refused (111)."
