Well there are no specific steps.  It'll all depend on what VPN do you
use and what container engine you use like docker, podman etc.  There's
a whole world when it comes to containerization :) You can search for
fedora & podman tutorials.  There are plenty.

In a nutshell, instead of running a full VM with a VPN just so that you
have a level of isolation (network-wise), which is overkill, you simply
run a small container.

If you could run your VPN within a container (launched via podman) then
you can attach your regular non-containerized applications to the
container's network-namespace.   They'll be just "contained" network-wise.

Again, you'll need to have a basic understanding of how containers work
underneath (the different Linux namespaces etc) in order to play out
with this stuff.

Cheers!
