problem with gluetun config

[Qbaakr]

Hello Does anyone know where to add a parameter to make Gluetun select a specific server? I mean, for example, a country or a region? sometimes it happens to me that it gets an IP from another continent I tried both in services surfshark.yaml and in custom in the custom.yaml file when adding server information, it throws a container error I know you could set an end point - but then there is one specific one, and some providers, e.g. sufrshark, provide addresses in the form of a name, not in the form of an IP Kind Regrads

Hey there,

I use Gluetun with NordVPN as a provider, I entered the informations about what continent/country/region I want to connect to within the custom docker-compose.yaml I use for this service.

NordVPN provides an OpenVPN configuration and many options to choose a specific server ; I don't know if Surfshark does the same. This documentation might help you : https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun-wiki/blob/main/setup/servers.md

My config looks like this :

services:
  gluetun:
    image: qmcgaw/gluetun
    container_name: gluetun
    restart: always
    cap_add:
      - NET_ADMIN
    environment:
      - PUID=${PUID}
      - PGID=${PGID}
      - TZ=${TZ}
      - VPN_SERVICE_PROVIDER=nordvpn
      - VPN_TYPE=openvpn
      - OPENVPN_USER=${OPENVPN_USER}
      - OPENVPN_PASSWORD=${OPENVPN_PASSWORD}
      - SERVER_REGIONS=Netherlands

volumes:
  configgluetun:
    driver: local-persist
    driver_opts:
      mountpoint: $HOST_CONFIG_PATH/gluetun

Hey It works - just not the region, because that would be Europe, but country. it shows up in the logs, it immediately gets the IP, but - sites for checking torrent IP (because I check through the file with deluge) work dramatically slowly. but I suspect it's a settings issue. I'll keep digging and see what I can come up with, maybe it's a matter of setting the given DNS ;) but I'll have some fun over the weekend I'll let you know what I managed to do ;) He thanked me ;)

So far the problem is not solved :( He will say that it worked, limiting servers to the country and not by IP. I don't know what error I'm making in the configuration, but it doesn't accept a specific server
