Hello all! I am having some issues getting Wireguard to work on my unraid server. I have been searching all kinds of wireguard threads and nothing I have done has helped. So, I want to make this clear that I don't think this is any kind of bug or error in the wireguard plug in. I think its more likely that there is some setting in my greater internet setup that's preventing this from working. (I think this because I tried setting up wireguard on a RasberryPi with pivpn a while ago and couldn't get that to work either).
So, This will be a long and hopefully very detailed post about my whole internet setup in hopes that someone knows the magic thing I need to do to get this working.
My internet provider is Century Link, and I have Fiber internet. So my internet hardware starts with an ONT (Optical Network Terminal). This is the box that turns the fiber optic cable into a normal RJ-45 ethernet cable.
Then, the ONT is connected to a modem/router combo provided by century link that is setup in "transparent bridge" mode.
Then, that is connected to my Linksys Velop router (parent node)
There is also another Linksys Velop router (child node) in my system.
Then that is where my unraid server resides.
I followed the quick start guide to the letter and no luck. I have setup a duckdns account and have a subdomain and all that. I am able to ping that subdomain just fine.
However, when I go to add a peer and create the config for a client device they never work. I tried creating one for my phone. I used the remote tunneled access but was not able to access the internet, the Lan, or my server. And in the vpn manager on unraid that peer profile continues to say "last handshake: not recieved"
I have my port forwarded to my server from my linksys router.
I am a novice at any of this networking stuff so I am sorry if I missed some part of the needed information. If you need more information about any of my server settings or router settings or anything else, please don't hesitate to ask. I have been trying for many hours to try getting this working and I can't figure out what to do next. All help would be awesome. Thank you in advance!
