helm-charts

Depends on the CRDs installed as part of cert-manager, which apparently will not be installed if that chart is a dependency of this one - so it's installed manually in its own directory.

If you need to install it manually, run helm repo add jetstack https://charts.jetstack.io; helm repo update; helm install --create-namespace -n security jetstack/cert-manager cert-manager --set installCRDs=true

Secrets

Note that the names of both of these secrets are arbitrary (though the keys within them are not) - the expected names are set in values.yaml.

Config file

Depends on the existence of a secret called openvpn-config, with a key vpnConfigfile that contains the appropriate config file. Download it from here and upload it with:

kubectl -n proton-vpn create secret generic openvpn-config --from-file=vpnConfigfile=<path_to_config_file>

OpenVPN creds

Fetch from here (note - these are different from your ProtonVPN credentials!), then upload with:

kubectl -n proton-vpn create secret generic openvpn-creds --from-literal="VPN_AUTH=<username>;<password>"

Note that you can (apparently!) append various suffices to the OpenVPN username to enable extra features if you are a paying member:

<username>+f1 as username to enable anti-malware filtering
<username>+f2 as username to additionally enable ad-blocking filtering
<username>+nr as username to enable Moderate NAT

I haven't tested - use at your own risk! Probably best to get a functioning connection working before messing around with extra features.

update-resolv-conf

TODO: (Not sure if this is required for all servers...) This is required by the ProtonVPN OpenVPN configuration (line 124)

Debugging

`GATEWAY_IP=';; connection timed out; no servers could be reached'`

As per here, "try setting the NOT_ROUTED_TO_GATEWAY_CIDRS: with your cluster cidr and service cidrs". The way to find those values is described here

More info

Some OpenVPN server configurations rely on a script at /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf.sh, which isn't provided by default. It looks like it's been replaced with /etc/openvpn/up.sh and .../down.sh - you should be able to manually edit the .ovpn file to reference those scripts instead.

If you really need the original file - get it from here and provide it in a ConfigMap:

curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alfredopalhares/openvpn-update-resolv-conf/master/update-resolv-conf.sh -o /tmp/update-resolv-conf

Useful tools to install:

apt install -y traceroute net-tools iputils-ping dnsutils
