Hi Everyone,

 

Does this feature actually work ? When I connect to VPN while using this option and have other containers use the custom wg0 connection, none of them work. I can't see their WebUIs I just get About#Blocked on the URL of the page.

 

The only way to use VPN is to use Set VPN tunneled for the System, which works for all containers, however Unraid plugins / apps have trouble downloading, updating... which is totally odd.

 

Thanks

I found a solution that works kinda...

 

So:

 

My Unraid Box is connected via ethernet eth0/br0 to the router to T-Mobile Gateway (192.168.50.0/24)

 

I decided to tinker around and connected a Usb-Ethernet adapter to Unraid (eth1/br1) and connected it to a GlINet Router I have and connected that to the T-Mobile gateway as well (192.168.8.0/24)

 

Unlike my $300 Asus Router (w/ Merlin), the Wireguard client on the GlInet Travel router allows you not only to connect to Wireguard, but it also allows port forwarding to wg0 interface (probably via iptables that actually work)

 

So I was able to attach Plex on Unraid to br1 and it can be seen from outside world (bypassing CGNAT), however the clients on my local Asus Lan can't see the Plex anymore (well they see it remotely from the internet). I was kind of hoping I could allow Plex to work on both lans (maybe a limitation of the software itself). 

 

Other docker containers needing VPN through this route have to be using br1 instead of br0 but it gets messy moving everything to br1, also if you move half of them, it seems that the routing wasn't quite happening from br0 apps to br1 apps ( I didn't mess around w/ iptables / routes to see if I could it working), chatgpt gave me all the commands though!

 

I also tried another route and disabled bonding on eth0 and bridged it with eth1 hoping for a unified approach but I didn't quite get that working.

 

Anyways, I am back at using VPN Tunneled for System but I had some high hopes for a little bit. I actually think if my Asus Router had better Wireguard support, I could get this working , or I could just swap it with the GlInet Router. The docker containers needing VPN support will have them, while the rest of Unraid works via WAN.

 

Are there any tutorials to use Unraids built-in support for VPN Manager for Docker Containers ? I think if I had better knowledge of the Unix OS + Dockers, I could get this done. I saw some complicated solution on youtube via pfsense and vlans but that was way complicated for me....

So I finally figured this out per this Reddit Post:

the reason was that I needed to add these port mappings for Plex when connected to wg0.
