Wireguard - How to make the unRAID server the "client," not the "server?"

Featured Replies

I am trying to google this, but everything I see is talking about setting up a VPN on unRAID, connecting to unRAID via VPN, not having unRAID connect to a remote network via VPN.

 

I have Wireguard configured on pfSense in my home. I have an unRAID server in a remote location that I want to have "dial in" to my home network and basically appear as though it's on my local network.

 

I'm looking at the VPN Manager, but as a relative novice--especially with Wireguard--I'm having a hard time equating the terms to what I set up for a Windows machine as the "client." (I know Wireguard doesn't use the terms server and client and that basically what I am considering the server and client both have tunnels and peers set up from their POV. - That just makes it more confusing when unRAID's VPN settings are using slightly different terms.)

 

So, how do I only set the unRAID Wireguard to be the "client" peer to my pfSense Wireguard?

 

Looking at the Wireguard Quickstart, but the scenarios are a little off from what I'm trying to do. LAN to LAN and VPN Tunneled Access are close, but not quite. I don't need access to the LAN on the unRAID server side (only need access to the server itself, along with any containers it may be running) and I don't want all the unRAID server's traffic going through the tunnel.

Thanks!

If a different system is managing everything, generate the config in that system and then click the "Import Tunnel" button in the upper right corner of the Settings -> VPN Manager page.

I tried that earlier and the VPN manager page just went blank. I had to go into the etc/wireguard folder and delete the wg0 files to get it to come back.
