May 27, 20242 yr I have been trying (for several days now) to setup VPN via Wireguard. I will be traveling overseas in the fall, and I would like to have access to my NAS from wherever I happen to be. I have attempted to follow tutorials, creating "remote tunneled access" on my iPhone (currently not connected to my home network via WiFi). I think I have correctly setup the tunnel, using the "create from QR code" option in the WireGuard app on my phone. I think that the fact that the the VPN Manager settings show a HANDSHAKE means that the two devices are connected correctly. Maybe my question needs to be, how do I connect to the NAS from my phone? My guess was, that with the WireGuard VPN active on the phone, I should be able to connect by typing in the IP address listed as the "Local Endpoint" into a browser on my phone. I have tried typing the IP address and the IP address followed by ":51820"–all without a seeming connection. What am I doing wrong? I will attach the screen from the VPN Manager settings. Thanks for any help received.
May 27, 20242 yr Community Expert ?port forwarding is still required to use WireGuard is port 51820 UDP.. is the port open/forwarded?
May 27, 20242 yr Author Yes it is. I have an eero mesh network. I have set up port forwarding to the NAS IP address, port 51820.
