Question: is there way to do add client VPN...?

[ApplegateR]

Hi, I not comfortable to exposed port or Public on status for our store. And I want keep safe only exposed is 80 and 443 and 1194 in coffee store. So I prefer use VPN more specific remote IP to ping and port internal network.

@ApplegateR I was asking if there way to add vpn client in This docker? Or will work if I install openvpn in This server to pretend client also?

@ApplegateR Ah, I guess you are asking for a way for Uptime Kuma to make outbound requests via a VPN instead of your server?

This was indeed worked upon by @Lonkle a while ago but he has not been active in a while. This is in our plans though.

@girish oooo up +1 I really look forward it but let hope more creator around world can also do. I not best engineer but learning

@ApplegateR if a resource is not directly reachable (private network), then Uptime Kuma can use a proxy (configurable per monitor) to reach the system. Can only be used for http checks however, or at least i dont see how it would work for TCP checks.

I could not find an article explaining this, but https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/vekvve/problem_with_monitoring_websites_behind_authelia/icr8fic?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share&context=3 confirms that this is possible.

There is also some cloudflared tunnel integration but I haven't really looked into it further (in the settings page).

[fbartels]

@girish i think the cloudflare tunnel integration is intended to make uptime kuma itself accessible.

I stand corrected. You can also use it for private only access. https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/tutorials/warp-to-tunnel/

Yeah, went thru a big life change so I halted my life for a year or so but I still have all my notes and code changes for a VPN tunnel if you ever want to discuss it to make your life easier. Plus, I also have my custom fully functioning OpenVPN client that I run as a Cloudron app. That's not how we agreed it should be done in the end, but it's a good start as far as the architecture needed to build out this feature goes (so it might be helpful to you).

@Lonkle Yes please, if you can put your fork and notes somewhere, I can look into incorporating it accordingly.
