VPN Service to Encrypted SOCKS

I sometimes want to use a VPN service as a simple proxy for 1 or 2 applications. Most VPN services provide authenticated (unencrypted) SOCKS access, but I would like encryption from me to the VPN provider. So, I shoved OpenVPN into a docker with OpenSSH and I can just tunnel whatever I want in through SOCKS.<p>I&#x27;m curious if this is a good approach.
