Hi Marc, 
I have too an openvn server running inside a container and I use venet interface without any trouble. Why do you think that veth is necessary?

Yes, but are you routing traffic from the VPN connected clients through your container to other hosts? Because of the way venet works, there are some intermediary hops and internal routing that happens which makes this setup somewhat difficult. I'm still trying to find the answer to this myself. Switching to veth works fine, but unfortunately breaks another component of the applications we use. It's complicated... long story.
