VPN connectivity via .gitpod.yml

[a-b]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

We need a way to connect my dev container to the private network via VPN to access internal resources.

Describe the behavior you'd like

Dev containers can establish a VPN connection and access internal resources at an early provision stage.

Describe alternatives you've considered

An alternative is to deploy GitPod inside the VPN is not an option for us due to project constraints.

Hi @a-b, would tailscale work for your usecase? https://www.gitpod.io/docs/configure/tailscale

Hi @axonasif , I am actually having a similar usecase. But I don't see using tailscale will do since we use subspace for our VPN. What happened currently if I set VPN normally (default subspace linux setup), it will be disconnected and cannot re-connect anymore. Is there anything I did wrong?

Thank you.

This is something that's also blocking our team from using gitpod. Internally the team is using cloudflare warp.

I'd love to hear some feedback from gitpod.io since our team is gradually moving to alternative ephemeral envs like gitlab

Hi @a-b, can you describe which internal resources you need to access? Is it just the git host or others?

Ideally, how would this work from your perspective?

This is not only about accessing source code but also access to various environments and resources. Perhaps the easiest way is to host gitpod internally, but this is now chicken a chicken-and-egg problem since all of you yanked the community version and made it impossible to adopt POC. As GitLab caught up on vscode it's getting even harder.
