Forwarding into a VPN container causing issues with Web GUI of container

Featured Replies

Hello, Unraid community.

 

I am using Unraid, and I have seen the wonderful abilities of docker containers. I am having a problem with a VPN set up that I have. Currently, I have a wireguard client container running a Private Internet Access VPN. It is functioning, and when I check the public ip address, it indeed points to a VPN ip. I am trying to run a container of jdownloader2 through the network of the wireguard container. I used portainer to get the container to run behind the VPN.

 

The problem that I am having is this:

Even though the jdownloader container is running, I cannot access the web GUI through <local ip>:7807 in the web browser.

 

Oddly enough I have tailscale running on Unraid, as well. I had a hunch that the container was working, but just not with the local network. I connected to the tailscale network with a different device, and when I tried to hit the port of the jdownloader container on the Unraid server when I was connected to the tailscale network I was able to access the web GUI.

 

I'm confused why the tailscale VPN can access the container, but anything on the local network cannot launch the GUI. Can someone help me, please?

Hello! If you are binding the jDownloader-Container on you wireguard-Container, you have to remapp the WebUI-Ports of jDownloader in your wireguard-container (not in you jDownloader-Container).

Hi. Thanks for responding to me.

I followed SpaceInvaderOne's youtube tutorial of how to forward one container into another container. I changed the ports on my wireguard-client container. Here is what it looks like:

Do I need to open up a port on iptables?
