Hi, i’m looking for a VPN that:

  • is easily deployable via a docker-compose
  • has an Android App and it doesn’t drain the battery too much
  • hides as regular HTTPS traffic so it’s not blockable by Firewalls. (I don’t need strong censorship resistance; it just has to work in offices and hotel WiFis.)
  • Bonus: A server like caddy can also accept HTTPS traffic for some regular websites next to the VPN server.

https://github.com/TrustTunnel/TrustTunnel sounds interesting, but the PR for docker compose was closed.

Do you know something else?

    resistant to blocking?

    That’s going to be the sticky wicket right there. It is rather trivial for server admins to know what IPs go with VPNs and not. Wireguard is about the best thing on the planet right now, imho, but it will also get blocked. Occasionally, I will happen on a site that outright blocks me. If I can’t bend the site to my will, I just move on. The information on the blocked site will 9 times out of 10 be found duplicated somewhere else.

    One ‘trick’ I’ve found works fairly well is Opera. So, when I go to pay my bills online, my VPN coupled with the way I have Firefox configured, will trigger a block. I can fire up Opera, engage it’s built in VPN, still keep my local VPN connected, and have no problem accessing my bills. It’s not an elegant solution, and some users have preclusions to Opera. However, that generally works for me.
