Mainfrezzer Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 (edited) Ive been tinkering around to get tunneled remote access to my Unraidserver while having some Docker-Container exposed to my home network that my Server also needs to access. It seemed to be a 2/3-Affair. Either tunneled access and Docker running while having no access from the Host to the Container No tunneled access to the Server while having the Container accessible from the Host or Docker-Container and Host were able to communicate but your tunneled access is limited to the unraid system itself. Here is my solution to that Problem. First, the "standard" tunnel access. No further steps on that. This just guarantees access via the tunnel in case the Array/Docker-Server didnt start at all. !IMPORTANT! Secondly. We gonna add another tunneled access to the Server. The recommended options are fine. Now we need to manually edit the wg*.conf, in my case wg1 and change the adapter from br0 to shim-br0. And thats it. Now you always got 1 tunneled access to the Server incl. all Docker-Container and access to the internet. The tunnel, that got modified to the shim-br0 network is the one that has all access while Docker is running. The wg0 interface is in this example is the "oh shit, something is wrong" connection. Update for 6.12.4: If youre running the macvtap network you need to modify the file to look like this, the need for a second tunnel does not exist anymore. PostUp=logger -t wireguard 'Tunnel WireGuard-wg4 started';/usr/local/emhttp/webGui/scripts/update_services PostUp=iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 10.253.4.0/24 -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE;ip6tables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s fc00:253:4:0::/64 -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE PostUp=iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 10.253.4.0/24 -o vhost0 -j MASQUERADE;ip6tables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s fc00:253:4:0::/64 -o vhost0 -j MASQUERADE PostDown=logger -t wireguard 'Tunnel WireGuard-wg4 stopped';/usr/local/emhttp/webGui/scripts/update_services PostDown=iptables -t nat -D POSTROUTING -s 10.253.4.0/24 -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE;ip6tables -t nat -D POSTROUTING -s fc00:253:4:0::/64 -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE PostDown=iptables -t nat -D POSTROUTING -s 10.253.4.0/24 -o vhost0 -j MASQUERADE;ip6tables -t nat -D POSTROUTING -s fc00:253:4:0::/64 -o vhost0 -j MASQUERADE With 6.12.10 the macvtap option doesnt need any change anymore since it sets the rules on its own now.

floepie05 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 (edited) This is a gem of a remedy for those who want to have their cake and eat it. Hoping the devs can help route this tunnel via the new virtual interface if the setting 'host and docker networks communication' is enabled. This is very handy for DNS server containers, which should probably go via the host or in a macvlan or ipvlan network on the same host subnet. If you want to have HTTPS routed via your reverse proxy from within your LAN network and back out to the custom network, you will need host and custom network to communicate. This also allows the host to resolve the DNS server on the Br0. Edited March 19 by floepie05 1 Quote Link to comment
Ravinala Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Hi y all I am facing the same issue, but i can't access my router, nor internet i can just access my home server. And i can't seem to find a patch after editing the conf files they get overwritten Thanks for your help! Quote Link to comment

The whole Shebang is not needed anymore with 6.12.10 and the macvtap interface, since it sets the vhost0 correctly and it just work out of the box. I havent tested ipvlan since, well, my router cant handle it. But since ipvlan still uses the old method (having 2 tunnel just in case), you have to do it manually. Dont use the VPN Manager to make changes, because they alway overwrite the file. Stop the tunnel, navigate to the flashdrive, edit the file with the "Dynamix File Manager", save it, switch back to the vpn manager and just start the tunnel without saving anything.

Ravinala Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Hi. I am on 6.12.10 But I realised network is set to ipvlan. Should I switch it ? As of nowI have a temporary fix, did a semi tunnel and I did a static route from my router ton unraid. I could access LAN but not Internet. So you would suggest to switch to mcvlan and having custom host enabled should not pose any problem? Kind regards Quote Link to comment
Mainfrezzer Posted May 6 Author Share Posted May 6 (edited) Dont switch to macvlan, that will just crash your server. Macvtap works differently and is enabled by disabling the bridge in the network settings. Its up to you if you want to switch. Both works absolutely fine and the guide from the original post still is correct in setting things up with ipvlan. Setup the first, "Emergency tunnel" which always works when the array is offline (That you can do completely over the vpn manager interface) then setup a second one "Normal tunnel" which only works when the array is running. (Apart from the initial setup, never save changes in the vpn manager in there, only manually with the file manager plugin, since it removes the shim- from the interface) Edited May 6 by Mainfrezzer Quote Link to comment
Ravinala Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 (edited) Thanks for your help in thr matter, bit what would be the issue to going to MacVtap. I could honestly try. I think the issue I did was save a config which overwrite my edits. I might try again later. I might try to enable MacvTap tomorrow and see and then otherwise I will do the guide again. But do you add the peer after editing or before ? Edited May 6 by Ravinala fixee Quote Link to comment
Mainfrezzer Posted May 6 Author Share Posted May 6 I would say create the peer before you do the manual change. I actually have no clue if adding a peer will change the file like a save does, because, im sure as hell aint giving anyone remote access to my server(and home) apart from myself Quote Link to comment
