Working Principle

Requirements

• a VPN service supporting OpenVPN as a client (this example uses vpntunnel)
• Docker
• Firefox
• MacOS isn’t a requirement per se but this guide & accompanying scripts are written for it.

Setup Steps

1. Download this package containing Dockerfile build instructions & some scripts.
2. Populate the directory “openvpn_config_files/” with the ovpn files from the VPN service you use.
3. Edit the script called “vpn” and replace <VPN_SERVICE_USERNAME> and <VPN_SERVICE_PASSWORD> with your username and password.
4. Run with “./omnipresence.sh <name_of_ovpn_file>”
