Build devcontainer

docker compose build

Start the devcontainer (automatically connects to vpn)

docker compose up -d

Attach vscode

• Open a new vscode window
• Attach vscode to the running container by either
  • Selecting "Open Remote Window" (blue icon in the left down corner) -> "Attach to running container"

Using the Proxy locally

The Proxy is forwarded to localhost:3128 and currently configured to allow http and https connections (see squid.conf). Use Foxy Proxy or similar tools in your browser to access it.
