Hi All

I am trying to configure the inbuilt Wireguard on a friends server so he can remotely access his LAN... but have spent ages and cant get it to work...

I have created a tunnel from settings>vpn manager

Added a peer:

Then I have tried on a PC and mobile using the QR Code and creating my own tunnel:

Forwarded port 13820 to 51820 on the Zyxel Router:

But I have not been able to get this to work - can anyone shed any light on this?

I am at a loss why this wont work. I have tried putting the server in the DMZ and also using port 51820 as public port - but nothing seem to work.

When I am connected IPCONFIG shows;

I have travelled 300 miles to visit and set this up, so would really appreciate it if anyone can help.

Thanks

Never do this

This is a little out-of-date (no Wireguard plugin required) but might be useful:

Tailscale is also built-in. That is what I use for remote access these days. All computers on the same tailnet (such as your Unraid server) can be accessed. You can access other computers on the tailnet even if your Unraid server isn't running.

I still use Wireguard on Unraid to route certain containers to a VPN Service.

This was just as a test to see if the issue was the routing... but it didnt work even when in the DMZ... once tested I brought it back behind the firewall

I tried both the tut's above and still its not working... so, will take a look at tailscale as never used this either... I think there is a tut by SpaceInvaderOne... so will try to find this. Thanks
