I want firefox on my laptop to only go through a VPN and the easiest solution I came up with is forcing firefox SOCKS5 Proxy Docker Container which goes through a Mullvad gluetun docker container. I connect to my home server via tailscale

Browser < -tailscale- > SOCKS5 Docker < --- > gluetun Docker < --- > Internet

Is that a good idea? It seems a little overengineered, but simpler than running two VPNs on one machine?

Thanks

    I run my VPN and Firefox in a network namespace.

    Docker introduces latency, but network namespaces do not.
