Multi-Account Containers paired with Container Proxy allows for some really cool setups. I especially like the options to use socks proxies. Hope they will add proper proxy support later.

> the options to use socks proxies

I pair it with wireproxy [0]. This way you can assign any Wireguard-capable VPN for specific containers. It's extremely useful.

[0] https://github.com/windtf/wireproxy

Managed to get up and running quickly with this and https://github.com/pia-foss/manual-connections for Private Internet Access.

    WGConfig = "/etc/wireguard/pia.conf"

    # Socks5 creates a socks5 proxy on your LAN, and all traffic would be routed via wireguard.
    [Socks5]
    BindAddress = 127.0.0.1:25344
This is great, previously I was just using every wireguard tunnel as a traditional interface and hosting a socks proxy on the network on the other end.
Same here, probably my most used feature. Really useful if you route all of your traffic through a VPN by default, but you want to selectively route something outside of it. Just route it through a socks proxy running in your homelab.
What are the cool setups with proxies?
It allows me to access different networks (that might only be reachable via jumphosts or similar) from the same browser. Also at work - some required browser based tools are only accessible via specific proxies. With container specific proxies that's a breeze.
interesting. i was not aware of that feature. this will be very useful.
