OpenVPN is required on Host? #17

When I ran this image, I got these errors

2021-07-21 19:30:19,666 DEBG 'start-script' stderr output:
mknod: /dev/net/tun: Operation not permitted

2021-07-21 19:30:19,666 DEBG 'start-script' stdout output:
[crit] Unable to create tun device, try adding docker container option '--device=/dev/net/tun'

I have tried this on my Laptop, and 2 servers with rootless docker and rootless podman. All had the same erros.

no you do not need openvpn on the host, the openvpn client is included in the image, you are most probably not running with the correct flags, i would assume you are missing:- --cap-add=NET_ADMIN

see readme.md for example docker run.
