We have a Java web app that is trying to access a FTP location behind a OpenVPN. The app is deployed using Google Cloud Run Containers on their infrastructure.
I managed to deploy a solution that connects to OpenVPN using Docker in my local env but it needs "privileged" rights which we are unable to provide in GCP Cloud Run env.
Can you please help with this?
Thank you!
Try setting up an SSH port forwarding Tunnel in Open VPN to the target FTP server. Also find out what addresses your FTP(SFTP) is listening to Open VPN.
