The Docker VPN database client gives developers a controlled way to reach protected database environments without exposing databases publicly or asking every developer to hand-configure VPN and client tooling.

The container owns the VPN lifecycle, ships with the database client, and provides a simple command interface for environment-specific access.

Key pieces:

• OpenVPN tunnel lifecycle inside a container
• Pre-configured database client tooling
• Centralized environment configuration
• Certificate-based VPN authentication
• Repeatable onboarding for new developers
