I'm curious if anyone has managed to get the angelnu/pod-gateway running on Talos. I've been struggling with it, even trying out various AI tools like Grok and Gemini Pro for assistance, but nothing seems to work. I set up my cluster with Omni and I'm using Flannel for networking. I would like to know if this integration is feasible, or if others have encountered similar roadblocks. I've included links to the [helm chart](https://artifacthub.io/packages/helm/angelnu/pod-gateway) and the [GitHub repository](https://github.com/angelnu/pod-gateway) for reference.

I attempted setting up a VPN using a similar method a while back for a client’s network. Here’s what I found helpful: you need to run OpenVPN in a pod with a specific config to get it working. Additionally, having a sidecar in other pods helps manage routing through the VPN gateway, especially if the VPN IP changes after a restart. Just a heads up, make sure your IP ranges don’t overlap between Kubernetes and the VPN!
I recommend looking into angelnu/k8s-gitops. It has a working example, and I can confirm that it works fine on Talos with Flannel as well. Might save you some hassle!
To make your post clearer and more likely to get helpful responses, you should specify exactly what you've tried. For example, include links to guides you've followed, any error messages you've gotten, and what exactly you expected to happen. It helps people help you better!
You might want to check out gluetun as an alternative. But keep in mind that the pod gateway concept allows you to have a single gluetun instance manage traffic for multiple pods or namespaces effectively!
True, but with gluetun you don't quite get the same benefits as with pod gateway, which centralizes routing for many! Just something to consider.
I appreciate that! I just wanted to check if anyone knew if it even works with Talos and Flannel first, since I couldn't find much info on it.
