Awesome zero-trust VPN that several of our clients have. We're fans.

For our pentest dropboxes, we love using the twingate-connector LXC.

1. Run the install script (from Proxmox GUI, not SSH console).
2. From the Twingate admin console, click Remote Networks > (click your remote network) and under Connectors click Add Connector.
3. Click the connector (rename it if you want).
4. Under Select a Deployment Method, click Proxmox and then copy/paste the appropriate tokens into the LXC install.
5. Make sure for the network name, you choose a network name that is configured under Network > Remote Networks.

The tokens are stored here:

/etc/twingate/connector.conf

sudo apt purge twingate-connector

Get the image name (look under the NAMES column):

sudo docker ps -a

Stop it:

sudo docker rm twingate-unique-name-goes-here

Remove it:

sudo docker rm twingate-unique-name-goes-here

If your twingate connector isn't phoning home, check out this page.

See what's happening in the logs:

journalctl -u twingate-connector -f

If the logs are kind of boring, this page well help you turn logging up to 11 (well, actually...7):

nano /etc/twingate/connector.conf

# Add this line:
echo "TWINGATE_LOG_LEVEL=7" | sudo tee -a /etc/twingate/connector.conf

Restart connector:

sudo systemctl restart twingate-connector

If things still aren't happy, review the firewall logs.
