About Us
Who we are and why we built Gluetun.io.
Welcome to Gluetun.io, your dedicated hub for everything related to the Gluetun VPN client. We created this site for one simple reason: self-hosters deserve a single, trustworthy place to download Gluetun, learn how to configure it, and get genuinely helpful guidance — without wading through clutter, outdated snippets, or confusing instructions.
Our Mission
Our mission is to make secure, VPN-only networking accessible to everyone, from first-time homelab users to seasoned DevOps engineers. Gluetun is a powerful open-source tool, and we believe getting started with it should be effortless. That's why we focus on clear, accurate, and beginner-friendly documentation at every step — from your first pull to a fully routed stack.
What We Offer
We bring together everything you need in one organised place. On Gluetun.io you'll find a download hub that points only to official and legitimate sources, a step-by-step installation guide, detailed compatibility information across platforms and providers, and honest troubleshooting help for the most common issues.
Beyond the basics, our growing docs library dives deeper into the software. We cover topics like running Gluetun with Docker Compose, comparing WireGuard and OpenVPN, configuring port forwarding, and security best practices. Each guide is written to be approachable, so you never feel lost.
Our Commitment To Safety
We take your security seriously. We only ever direct visitors to official, legitimate sources for downloads — never to unofficial mirrors that might bundle unwanted software. We also emphasise good practices, like pinning versions and protecting your VPN credentials, so your deployment stays tight.
Why Trust Gluetun.io
Everything we publish is researched, organised, and presented with the user in mind. We don't overcomplicate things, and we don't bury useful information. Our goal is to be the resource we wish existed when we first set up a VPN container — friendly, honest, and genuinely useful.
Whether you're here to download Gluetun for the first time, fix a stubborn error, or simply learn more about how it protects your network, we're glad you found us. Explore our docs library to get started, or head straight to our download section to deploy your first tunnel.
