Hi, for information, I use put a Freedombox inside LXC container and made it only accessible from a OpenVPN server inside the container too. Here, you will find more explanation on how to setup Freedom Box in a container : > [@Freedombox in LXC -- how to make OpenVPN work?](https://discuss.freedombox.org/t/freedombox-in-lxc-how-to-make-openvpn-work/1437): > > \*\* Problem : run automatically OpenVPN at startup of a Freedombox running in a LXC container \*\* Currently I’m struggling to run openVPN. After some efforts I attempt to run OpenVPN manually using the following (see misc section bellow for further info on Freedom box installation and network setup of the LXC container), sudo openvpn /etc/openvpn/server/freedombox.conf with sudo ifconfig -a I see the tun0 interface. but It seems to have some problem while running it properly and automatical… I used the LXC MACVLAN option so that my container is directly accessible on the local network and its IP adress is provided by the Box of my ISP. Coming to firewall issues opened by NickA [FreedomBox on LXC - #5 by NickA](https://discuss.freedombox.org/t/freedombox-on-lxc/1493/5) I understood that there is a lack of compatibility between the Firewalld use by the Freedom Box and LXC. So I removed it and choose to build the firewall function using IPTables. ``` #Remove firewalld ``` sudo service firewalld stop sudo apt-get purge firewalld # install Iptables persistent apt-get install iptables-persistent After that I used one script to set IPtables rules : cd ~ mkdir config-iptables cd config-iptables nano iptable-config.sh # the script is given on next post chown 700 iptable-config.sh --- _[View the full topic](https://discuss.freedombox.org/t/freedombox-on-lxc/1493)._
