### Steps to reproduce
1. Establish an OpenVPN connection using Tunnelblick.
2. Start any kind of container (tested with Debian).
3. Try connecting to a host, only reachable through the OpenVPN connection, from the container.

Research direction
No file, test, or entry point is named in the issue. Reproduce the problem by connecting with Tunnelblick, starting a Debian container, and accessing an OpenVPN-only host; trace the container networking path and consider the issue complete when that host is reachable from the container.
