The `net_admin` capability according to the documentation "perform various network-related operations". This would make sense since an additional network interface is configured for a VPN connection. The `label:disable` definition is to disable label confinement.
In this setup, you will need to put the `.ovpn` profile that you wish to connect to under the `/volumes/openvpn-client/vpn/` directory.
## (Optional) Username/Password Setup
In the event you need a username and password to connect, create a file called `pass.txt` in the same directory as your ovpn profile. The file `pass.txt` will contain the username in the first line and the password in the second line. Then in your ovpn profile make sure you have a line that says `auth-user-pass pass.txt`.

## Network Workarounds
Sadly as of the time of writing, routing a container's traffic makes it lose its ability to belong to a network. I knocked into this when I tried accessing the qBittorrent API. So for the sake of example, if you want to connect to qbittorrent, you need to route the traffic to the openvpn-client container at port 8000 which we specified earlier to be the webui port of qbittorrent.
