Proper usage of a VPN connection

[stratosgear]

Sorry, once again another "issue" that is not an actual issue but rather more of a question.

I recently got a VPN account and after setting it up I saw that it could autostart at boot time and auto-restart if the VPN ever went down.

Since all these containers are running on a dedicated headless server, does that mean now that I can get away from having to have two different docker-composes one for non-VPN and another for VPNed containers? Will it be bad if everything is running through VPN?

Also if indeed I have to run SOME of them only in non-VPN mode, still it is not clear to me how I can run them unVPNed, if all traffic from the server is going through the VPN already.

I bet there is something that I do not see, or misunderstood and I'm trying to figure out what/where....

Thanks for a very useful repo, nonetheless...
