Connect to OpenVPN server through TOR

I'm trying to pass command line options to openvpn to connect to the server through the TOR proxy running in my machine, but the connection always timeout. I'm sure it has to do with the iptables configuration. Is there a way to edit the iptables setup?
Command I'm running:
docker run --cap-add=NET_ADMIN \ --add-host host.docker.internal:host-gateway \ --dns 192.168.0.1 \ -p 8118:8118 \ -p 9118:9118 \ -v /tmp/config:/config \ -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro \ -e VPN_ENABLED=yes \ -e VPN_USER=user \ -e VPN_PASS=pass \ -e VPN_PROV=custom \ -e VPN_CLIENT=openvpn \ -e VPN_OPTIONS="--connect-retry-max 1 --socks-proxy 192.168.0.1 9050 --connect-timeout 60" \ -e LAN_NETWORK=192.168.0.0/24 \ -e NAME_SERVERS=192.168.0.1 \ -e ENABLE_SOCKS=yes \ -e ENABLE_PRIVOXY=yes \ -e ENABLE_STARTUP_SCRIPTS=no \ -e DEBUG=false \ binhex/arch-privoxyvpn
Just found the documentation, the name just says VPN Docker Guide, so I assumed it wasn't for this image. Mistake from my part.
I set the option ENABLE_STARTUP_SCRIPTS to yes, and created a script at /config/scripts with the following iptables commands:
iptables -A INPUT -s <source network>/<cidr> -d 172.17.0.0/16 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A OUTPUT -s 172.17.0.0/16 -d <source network>/<cidr> -j ACCEPT
For some reason the connection fails for privoxy sometimes. Despite that everything is working fine now.
