Wireguard: No access to server itself or the LAN

[Deep Insights]

• Installed Dynamix WireGuard container &  created a tunnel & peer definition. 
• Configured my firewall to port forward the default 51820 port to the unraid server
• Added WireGuard peer connection on my iPhone via the QR code & then clicked on the slider to activate the connection.  The iOS/client status shows as Active; however, on the unraid/server side,  under the peer, I see "Last handshake: not received".  Note, that on WireGuard client shows IPv6 address connection to the server even though, the Unraid/WireGuard is setup for only IPv4.  Strange.
• My firewall shows no inbound connection
• On the phone, I am unable to access the server via the IP or the hostname.

 

So, it seems like the iOS client shows that the connection is active; yet my server shows no inbound connectivity.

 

 

Unraid/WireGuard/Peer Status:

"active" doesn't mean "connected", it just means that you've started the tunnel on one end.

 

WireGuard works out of the box for a lot of people but depending on your particular setup it can be more complicated. Troubleshooting is tough because it fails silently, there aren't logs or anything to check.
