# Make Invidious requests data from YouTube through a VPN using Gluetun (in case your IP is blocked)
|
|
|
|
This tutorial has been written by [TheFrenchGhosty](https://github.com/TheFrenchGhosty). He is better suited when looking for help about this tutorial.
|
|
|
|
## Create the docker network (must be done outside of the compose file):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
docker network create --subnet=172.80.0.0/16 gluetun_network
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note: We're not using the Gluetun default of 172.18.0.0/16, because it might already be used which causes Gluetun to not start with the error `Error response from daemon: invalid pool request: Pool overlaps with other one on this address space`, if you have this issue with 172.80.0.0/16 just use a number higher than "80" (at the second byte) and apply the rest of the documentation accordingly

|
|
## Create the compose file for Gluetun

|
|
## Make Invidious use gluetun
|
|
|
|
|
|
Add this to your DB:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
networks:
|
|
gluetun_network:
|
|
ipv4_address: 172.80.0.22
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Add this to the end of your compose (to make the Invidious-Postgres stack connect to gluetun):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
networks:
|
|
gluetun_network:
|
|
external: true
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
Add this to the Invidious container:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
network_mode: "container:gluetun"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Comment out the "- ports:" of the Invidious container (gluetun replaces it, reason why we configured it with the same value)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Update the Invidious config to use the new database address (since the network is "different", using the hostname wont work):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
INVIDIOUS_CONFIG: |
|
|
db:
|
|
dbname: invidious
|
|
user: kemal
|
|
password: <REDACTED>
|
|
host: 172.80.0.22
|
|
port: 5432
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Tell Gluetun to change IP daily (optional but recommended)
|
|
|
|
**Don't forget to replace `/path/to/` with a proper path**
|
|
|
|
- Control server documentation https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun-wiki/blob/main/setup/advanced/control-server.md
|
|
|
|
Start by exposing the Gluetun control server internally (DO NOT EXPOSE IT EXTERNALLY, KEEP `127.0.0.1`), add this port mapping to Gluetun:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
ports:
|
|
- 127.0.0.1:8000:8000/tcp # Control server
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
Write a script named `restartvpn.sh` and add this content to it:
|
|
|
|
! Remember to replace /path/to/ with the path you want the log to go (either the script location, or `/var/log/`) !
|
|
|
|
Note: `2>&1` sent STDERR to STDOUT, `tee /path/to/restartvpn.log` will write the output of the script to /path/to/restartvpn.log (in the current directory) (while still printing it to the shell)
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
echo "BEGIN $(date --rfc-3339=seconds)" 2>&1 | tee /path/to/restartvpn.log
|
|
|
|
curl -X GET "http://127.0.0.1:8000/v1/publicip/ip" 2>&1 | tee /path/to/restartvpn.log # Print the original IP
|
|
|
|
curl -X PUT -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"status":"stopped"}' "http://127.0.0.1:8000/v1/openvpn/status" 2>&1 | tee /path/to/restartvpn.log # Stop OpenVPN
|
|
|
|
sleep 5
|
|
|
|
curl -X PUT -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"status":"running"}' "http://127.0.0.1:8000/v1/openvpn/status" 2>&1 | tee /path/to/restartvpn.log # Start OpenVPN (changing the server it's connecting to)
|
|
|
|
sleep 5
|
|
|
|
curl -X GET "http://127.0.0.1:8000/v1/openvpn/status" 2>&1 | tee /path/to/restartvpn.log # Print the Gluetun status
|
|
|
|
curl -X GET "http://127.0.0.1:8000/v1/publicip/ip" 2>&1 | tee /path/to/restartvpn.log # Print the new IP
|
|
|
|
echo "END $(date --rfc-3339=seconds)" 2>&1 | tee /path/to/restartvpn.log
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
Run this daily using cron
|
|
|
|
Run `crontab -e` and add a new cronjob:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
@daily /path/to/restartvpn.sh
|
|
```
