I want firefox on my laptop to only go through a VPN and the easiest solution I came up with is forcing firefox SOCKS5 Proxy Docker Container which goes through a Mullvad gluetun docker container. I connect to my home server via tailscale
Browser < -tailscale- > SOCKS5 Docker < — > gluetun Docker < — > Internet
Is that a good idea? It seems a little overengineered, but simpler than running two VPNs on one machine?
Thanks
I run my VPN and Firefox in a network namespace.
Docker introduces latency, but network namespaces do not.
Docker isn’t slow. I do this on linux.
Docker is slow is a way to say that the virtualization is slow on you mac even if it costs a lot.
