Your question touches on some advanced concepts in networking and system security, specifically around the use of VPNs and Docker containers. Let's break down the differences and implications of running Mullvad VPN through various methods:
Mullvad via DPKG Installation (Direct Install on OS):
Mullvad in a Docker Container:
Mullvad with Gluetun (VPN in a Container):
In essence, the choice depends on your technical expertise, specific needs, and the level of security and flexibility you desire:
The idea that "everything touching the web should run in a container" is more of a best practice in professional IT environments, especially for server deployments, rather than a strict rule for personal use. It offers advantages in security and manageability but comes with a learning curve and complexity that might not be necessary for simpler or personal setups.
Thank you - that is helpful.
So the Gluetun part is really only for if I want to get into my jellyfin when away from home?
