Hobin Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 Hello, I'm trying to VPN into my unraid server with the wireguard application, for some reason when I'm at my friends house it doesn't work at all, I'm assuming it has to do with both of us having 192.168.x.x networks however it works from any other network that isn't a 192.168.x.x how can I fix this?

Gragorg Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Your server IP likely already exists on your friends network. You likely either have to change your server IP to one not used on your friends network or change that IP on your friends network. Quote Link to comment

You can't use WireGuard to join two networks that have overlapping subnets. So if one is 192.168.1.x and the other is 192.168.2.x then you are fine (assuming the subnet mask on both is 255.255.255.0). But if both networks use 192.168.1.x then you can't join those networks. In that case you can use the "Remote Access to Server" option and connect to the server via the server's tunnel ip. You will have access to the server only, nothing on the remote network.
