1️⃣ Description
The gluetun ipinfo.io public ip check will fail as those are all lookups via the vpn to get the current IP for every user using the system.
If everyone has the same vpn server selected (pia), those 30k allowed public clls per month to ipinfo.io are going to fail (its shared with the entire gluetun userbase I guess).
Given the low number of vpn servers each provider has, this will eventually become a widespread issue
This results in an unhealthy - restarting gluetun container.
2️⃣ Expected Behaviour
As a user, I'd expect that gluetun containers should start up within my tenancy performing requests using my own ipinfo.io token, so that i'm using my own pool of requests.
3️⃣ Actual Behaviour
As a user, my requests are shared with the other users of the vpn I am connected to
4️⃣ Steps to Reproduce
Run gluetun as its currently configured.
5️⃣ Possible solutions
PUBLICIP_API_TOKEN as a configurable option allows us to provide our own values for ipinfo.io lookups.
The account to get one of these tokens (from https://ipinfo.io/account/token) is free for 50k requests per month
Each user subscribing to gluetun should probably get one of these accounts, and it should be made a mandatory configuration value.
