VPN to circumvent geoblock (unavailable in your region)

[vogler]

Example: Dying Light is not available in Germany. If the epic-games account is set to some other country (e.g. USA), the game can still not be claimed with a german IP. Need to use a VPN to get an IP from a different country.

Im also from Germany, however my epic account is set to US and there seems to be IP-Geoblock when trying to purchase it, even when trying to do so manually

edit: I know this feature might probably not be of interest for the most folks, but could VPN-support be added to the docker?

This is probably only relevant for non-german accounts claiming in Germany. Could be added as an option, but unclear if it is out of scope and should be handled separately and just documented here, especially since I'm not aware of any VPN that is free, fast and could be used as a default.

There's https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun which is only 42MB and supports many VPNs:

Supports: AirVPN, Cyberghost, ExpressVPN, FastestVPN, HideMyAss, IPVanish, IVPN, Mullvad, NordVPN, Perfect Privacy, Privado, Private Internet Access, PrivateVPN, ProtonVPN, PureVPN, SlickVPN, Surfshark, TorGuard, VPNSecure.me, VPNUnlimited, Vyprvpn, WeVPN, Windscribe servers

Here's a guide on how to use its VPN for other containers: https://code.mendhak.com/run-docker-through-vpn-container/

There is basically no need to do this if user who has (paid) VPN could attach this container with to the VPN container Network, e.g.: https://haugene.github.io/docker-transmission-openvpn/tips-tricks/#let_other_containers_use_the_vpn

Edit:

Here's a guide...

This is the same solution 🤦
