December 28, 20205 yr Hello, How can I access the Unraid (Version: 6.8.3) and Docker Apps such as Plex, Sonarr, Radarr etc. outside my Local Network (LAN)? Given that, My ISP doesn't support Port-Forwarding because of the CG-NAT. I do have a VPN which does allow the Port-Forwarded VPN Access though. So if I could somehow use the VPN Provider to access the UnRaid outside of my Local Network? They have both OpenVPN and Wireguard as the option. (OpenVPN is preferable). Thanks.

Then your only option is to use something like Zerotier, which doesn't require port forwarding. There is a zerotier docker in apps. Or you can use a machine/VM that is always on then use something like teamviewer to remote in to it.

As @strike mentioned ZeroTier is another option. I actually have OpenVPN-AS, WireGuard and ZeroTier all configured on my server and all three work for remote access. I prefer WireGuard as it is built into unRAID, however, it does require port forwarding. OpenVPN is my backup and I occasionally still use ZeroTier as well. If you have an existing VPN that allows you to specify access to the local network on which unRAID resides, you should be able to access the GUI by local IP address through the VPN.

I didn't get this statement? Please if you could tell me, What did you mean by VPN here? I have TorGuard, PrivateVPN. Thanks for the answers.

I have installed zerotier to test, but then I realized, I will be forced to install zerotier in each and every system, right? I still cannot access the unRaid on public systems. Hmm, Is there any way I could use Public AWS Server to create a tunnel between my unraid server so that, I access my unraid server using the AWS IP? Thanks for the answers.

December 31, 20205 yr Community Expert SWAG still needs port 443 open so if he can't open any ports that wil be a problem.

Here's what I did in my own system (also behind CGNAT). Spun up a Mikrotik CHR (virtual router) on Linode (but any other VPS with completely unblocked ports is also fine). Made a site-to-site VPN between my home networks (3 different houses) and the VPS. then port forwarded port 80 + 443 to an nginx container (kinda like SWAG - but I prefer to roll my own). This could be done with a Linux VPS, but I wanted to play with a Mikrotik router (all of my edge routers are Mikrotiks) and have less issues with the rather performant IPSec site-to-site vpn This means I can access my Emby server + Transmission container over HTTPS from anywhere. (Added DNS entries at the house with the Unraid server to avoid having to go out and back) Edited January 1, 20215 yr by ken-ji

Hmm, Is there any way if you have laid down the steps somewhere or if there is any guide regarding this, that I could follow and achieve it? Thanks.
January 11, 20215 yr Author Okay, Hmm. What I can do right now then? Because, I'm not technically good in these stuff.
March 2, 20224 yr you can use proxy manager and cloudflare and a domain name to acces them at one place. Edited March 2, 20224 yr by mrfly
