Cannot connect clients to Unraid VPN using Google Domains DDNS

Featured Replies

I currently have both a DuckDNS (<mysubdomain>.duckdns.org) and Google Domains (ddns.<mydomain>.dev) DDNS services set up, and I've verified both point to my IP address. The Unraid VPN via the DuckDNS domain has been set up for a while and works fine, but I can't get the VPN to connect when using my Google Domains domain as the endpoint.

 

The top-level domain for my Google DDNS is .dev, which enforces HSTS, so I suspect this may be the cause, though I really have no idea if Wireguard cares about this.

 

Since HSTS requires SSL, I have tried a few things to associate a certificate with ddns.<mydomain>.dev:

  • Created a Let's Encrypt certificate with my Asus router, which is handling DDNS updates for Google DDNS. This doesn't have any effect though because nothing redirects ddns.<mydomain>.dev to my router, nor would I want it to.
  • Created a Let's Encrypt certificate with Nginx Proxy Manager with a 404 redirect. With this configured, ddns.<mydomain>.dev indeed redirects to a 404 page with the appropriate certificate.
  • Used that same certificate with a proxy host for http://<myserver>:51821. This configuration yields a 502 bad gateway error for ddns.<mydomain>.dev.

 

None of the above configurations allowed my clients to connect to Unraid's VPN using ddns.<mydomain>.dev.

 

Does anyone know about Wireguard's compatibility with domains that enforce HSTS? Or more specifically, Unraid's implementation of Wireguard?
