Once the tunnel redirects the pod default route via tun0, the pod's response to the kubelet's httpGet liveness probe egresses the tunnel and never returns → probe times out → pod restarts ~every 2min despite the tunnel being up (PIA egress IP confirmed). Switch to a local wget exec probe (stays on lo). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <[email protected]>

# Gluetun — the single shared in-cluster VPN egress gateway (ADR-0013): PIA over OpenVPN-UDP, with
|
||
# Gluetun's built-in kill-switch/firewall (fail-closed), health checks, auto-reconnect. `vpn`-class
|
||
# pods are steered through this gateway (see README.md "Egress steering").

#
|
||
# CUSTOM-PROVIDER mode (DECISIONS-LOG "Phase 3 VPN — custom .ovpn"): gluetun's PIA-provider server
|
||
# selection random-picks server IPs, many of which don't answer this cluster's flows (intermittent
|
||
# TLS timeouts — verified by packet capture: the pod CAN complete a full handshake, only against
|
||
# responsive servers). So we feed gluetun the operator's own PIA `.ovpn`, which pins a known-healthy
|
||
# Stockholm server IP (gluetun's custom parser requires an IP `remote`, not a hostname). Trade-off:
|
||
# custom mode loses gluetun's PIA-native port forwarding (Phase-6/qBittorrent concern) — revisit then.
|
||
#
|
||
# Credentials: `pia-credentials` SOPS Secret (username/password) → OPENVPN_USER/OPENVPN_PASSWORD (the
|
||
# .ovpn uses auth-user-pass). Config: `pia-custom-ovpn` SOPS Secret (key `pia.ovpn`), mounted at
|
||
# /config/pia.ovpn. Both operator-provisioned.
