Hey friends,

I have a server (mac mini 2014) that runs 5 services, of which 2 need VPN, and the other 3 need internet access. Because my VPN doesn't support a port forwarding mechanism and the way to filter VPN traffic on the router software by port is extremely technical, I was wondering if I could get past this problem by:
1. Running every service as a docker container
2. Every docker container has OpenVPN configured and only the 2 services that need it use it

Does any one with a deep knowledge of docker knows if this is possible? Alternatively if I could get each container to get an IP directly from the router, then it would be trivial to setup policy rules on the router for each of the IPs.

Thank you advance.
