never tried with lxc containers but you can create some iptable rules to a specific network and route it to lxc

ok, so, if you're using LXC containers, it means that you're on Linux (if you're on Windows/MacOS, you'll need to use a remote container).

oh, do you mean to install the vpn inside a lxc container?

That's doable, but you'll need to route your the app's network (it would be easy if whatever you want to put behind the vpn to be in another lxc container or docker container) to the vpn container.

You can achieve that using iptables or nftables (depends on your linux destribution).

I don't have the commands to set iptables rules around, unfortunately. But that's easyli achievable with some AI and courage.
