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?


You can even install Tailscale in your Gluetun container and use it as an exit node so you have a VPN while using Tailscale. This is most useful for mobile devices where you can only have one active VPN.
