So, to connect a Google Cloud Run container to an OpenVPN server, you will need to follow these general steps:

1. Create a VPN client container: You can use any Docker image with an OpenVPN client installed, or create your own Docker image based on an OpenVPN client image.

2. Configure the OpenVPN client: You will need to configure the OpenVPN client to connect to your OpenVPN server. This typically involves creating a configuration file with the server address, port, and authentication details.

3. Deploy the VPN client container to Cloud Run: You can deploy the VPN client container to Cloud Run using the gcloud CLI or the Cloud Console.

4. Connect the container to the OpenVPN server: Once the container is deployed, you will need to run the OpenVPN client and connect to the server. This can be done by running the OpenVPN client command in the container or by including the command in the container's entrypoint script.

5. Configure your Cloud Run service to use the VPN connection: You can configure your Cloud Run service to use the VPN connection by setting the appropriate environment variables or updating the container's entrypoint script to route traffic through the VPN connection.

==>> Note that Cloud Run is a fully managed service and therefore has some limitations when it comes to networking. For example, you cannot assign a static IP address to a Cloud Run service, and you cannot create custom routes. These limitations may impact your ability to use Cloud Run with an OpenVPN connection.

6. Set environment variables: To configure your Cloud Run service to use the VPN connection, you will need to set environment variables that specify the VPN client configuration. You can use the Cloud Console or gcloud CLI to set environment variables for your Cloud Run service.

7. Update your service to use the VPN connection: You will need to update your service to use the VPN connection by modifying the entrypoint script in your container. You can use the iptables command to redirect traffic through the VPN connection.

Here's an example Dockerfile for a VPN client container that connects to an OpenVPN server:

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y openvpn

CMD ["openvpn", "--config", "/vpn/openvpn.conf"]

To deploy the VPN client container to Cloud Run, you can use the following gcloud command:

gcloud beta run deploy vpn-client --image=gcr.io/[PROJECT-ID]/vpn-client --platform=managed --region=[REGION]

Replace [PROJECT-ID] and [REGION] with your project ID and the region where you want to deploy the container.

Once the VPN client container is running on Cloud Run, you can configure your Cloud Run service to use the VPN connection by setting the appropriate environment variables and updating the container's entrypoint script. The exact steps will depend on your application and VPN configuration.

So let's discuss how to run Google Cloud Container on OpenVPN.
