- Connect other containers to it
- The *iptables* firewall allows traffic only with needed PIA servers (IP addresses, port, protocol) combination
- OpenVPN restarts on failure using another PIA IP address for the same region
- Docker healthchecks using [duckduckgo.com](https://duckduckgo.com) to obtain your public IP address and compare it with your initial non-VPN IP address
- Docker healthchecks using [duckduckgo.com](https://duckduckgo.com) to obtain your public IP address and compare it with PIA Ips in configuration file

## Requirements
- A Private Internet Access **username** and **password** - [Sign up](https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/pages/buy-vpn/)
- [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/install/) installed on the host
- If you use a firewall on the host:
- Allow outgoing TCP port 853 for Cloudflare DNS over TLS initial resolution of PIA server domain name, **you should then BLOCK it**
- Allow outgoing TCP port 443 for querying duckduckgo.com to obtain the initial IP address *only at the start of the container*, **you should then BLOCK it**
- Allow outgoing TCP port 501 for TCP strong encryption
- Allow outgoing TCP port 502 for TCP normal encryption
- Allow outgoing UDP port 1197 for UDP strong encryption
- Allow outgoing UDP port 1198 for UDP normal encryption
- If you use a strict firewall on the host/router:
- Allow outbound TCP 853 to 1.1.1.1 to allow Unbound to resolve the PIA domain name at start. You can then block it once the container is started.
- For UDP strong encryption, allow outbound UDP 1197
- For UDP normal encryption, allow outbound UDP 1198
