Proxy2VPN Python utilities

Proxy2VPN

Python command-line interface for managing multiple VPN containers with Docker.

Features

• Create and control VPN services using gluetun containers
• Fleet management: Bulk deployment across multiple cities and profiles
• Multi-service control with --all flags
• Query and validate provider server locations
• HTTP proxy authentication support
• Server health monitoring and automatic rotation
• Intelligent profile allocation with load balancing

Requirements

• Docker and Docker Compose
• Python 3.8+

Installation

Install proxy2vpn from PyPI using uvx:

uvx (run without installing)

uvx proxy2vpn --help

[!NOTE] uvx is part of the uv toolchain. If uv isn't installed, get it with:

curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

Quick Start

1. Initialize the compose file:

   proxy2vpn system init
   

2. Create a profile file with your VPN credentials:

   mkdir -p profiles
   cat <<'EOF' > profiles/myprofile.env
   OPENVPN_USER=your_username
   OPENVPN_PASSWORD=your_password
   HTTPPROXY=on
   HTTPPROXY_USER=your_proxy_username
   HTTPPROXY_PASSWORD=your_proxy_password
   EOF
   

3. Register the profile:

   proxy2vpn profile create myprofile profiles/myprofile.env
   

4. Create and start a VPN service:

   proxy2vpn vpn create vpn1 myprofile --port 8888 --provider protonvpn --location "New York"
   proxy2vpn profile apply myprofile vpn1 --port 8888
   proxy2vpn vpn start vpn1
   

5. View status and test connectivity:

   proxy2vpn vpn list
   proxy2vpn vpn test vpn1
   

Fleet Management

For enterprise-scale deployment across multiple cities and VPN accounts:

1. Create multiple profiles with different account credentials:

   # Create profiles for different VPN accounts
   proxy2vpn profile create account1 profiles/account1.env
   proxy2vpn profile create account2 profiles/account2.env  
   

2. Plan a fleet deployment across countries:

   # Deploy across Germany and France with 2 slots on account1, 8 on account2
   proxy2vpn fleet plan --countries "Germany,France,Netherlands" --profiles "account1:2,account2:8"
   

3. Deploy the planned fleet:

   proxy2vpn fleet deploy --parallel
   

4. Monitor and manage the fleet:

   # View fleet status with profile allocation
   proxy2vpn fleet status --show-allocation
   
   # Rotate failed servers automatically
   proxy2vpn fleet rotate --dry-run
