Privado: custom endpoint port is not allowed

[Qballjos]

Discussed in #2346

^{Originally posted by Qballjos July 5, 2024}
unable to setup this container with provider Privado selected, not with the template or docker compose.
It seems that it is stuck trying to use port 51820
also used custom config with privado settings and manualy changing the hostname to an ip still not picking up the wanted port 1194

Yep, have the same error with protonvpn after image update

@Qballjos I'm not sure I follow. Privado only supports Openvpn UDP on port 1194 which is the default. Running for example docker run -it --rm --cap-add=NET_ADMIN -e VPN_SERVICE_PROVIDER=privado -e OPENVPN_USER=a -e OPENVPN_PASSWORD=b qmcgaw/gluetun tries to connect on port 1194, for example it logs out: [openvpn] TCP/UDP: Preserving recently used remote address: [AF_INET]91.148.224.20:1194 so that seems correct to me.

Also, WHAT GLUETUN VERSION ARE YOU USING!????? It's logged at the top of the logs.

@Amlor Please create an issue with required fields information and details, since I really cannot help you without additional information, and this issue is about Privado.

Hi, I think I have the same issue this person tried to report to.
I was previously using wireguard and now i'm trying to switch to openvpn, but "classic" config will result in error.

Here's my compose :

Gluetun seems to keep trying to read config files instead of just following env settings.

I modified the "wg0.conf" to "wg0.conf.old", which gluetun shouldn't use as it's configured to use openvpn, and now gluetun say this :
ERROR VPN settings: OpenVPN settings: user is empty

To my understanding, with my env settings, gluetun shouldn't read any config file...

edit : this last one was fixed by usin OPENVPN_USER/PASSWORD instead of VPN_PORT_FORWARDING_USER/PASSWORD

Gluetun seems to keep trying to read config files instead of just following env settings.

You got it! Thanks 💯 Looking into it. It does read everything (both wireguard and openvpn) in case you want to switch 'live' from one to another, in the future (still work in progress).

this last one was fixed by usin OPENVPN_USER/PASSWORD instead of VPN_PORT_FORWARDING_USER/PASSWORD

yes that warning logs was a bug fixed in a03041c

[qdm12]

This bug was introduced in ecc80a5 after the v3.38.0 release. It's fixed in 36c8da7 which, as a side effect, also changes, with retro-compatibility:

• Split VPN_ENDPOINT_IP in OPENVPN_ENDPOINT_IP and WIREGUARD_ENDPOINT_IP
• Split VPN_ENDPOINT_PORT in OPENVPN_ENDPOINT_PORT and WIREGUARD_ENDPOINT_PORT

This (retro-compatible) change will be documented in the wiki soon ™️
