I have been pulling my hair out of my head over this for years now. For as long as Unraid has had a built-in VPN client, I have tried to use it. It has never worked properly for longer than a day. I am trying to use it on both a iphone and a laptop. Sometimes it works on the phone, then the next day it doesn't. Sometimes it works on the laptop, sometimes it doesn't.

Things I've tried:

• reinstalling the app on my phone or my laptop

• removing all tunnels from unraid and starting from scratch

• changing any and all settings, in any combination.

• trying 0.0.0.0/0 as allowed IPs

• setting different IPs, different access modes, different devices, different networks, etc.

• letting my router do the NAT or not

I've had it running reliably for a while on my laptop. Then I decided to try if I could get it running again on my phone. I deleted the tunnel, started over and then it worked on my phone for a few days and I could not get it running on my laptop again WITH THE EXACT SAME SETTINGS AS BEFORE I DELETED THE TUNNEL. Today I woke up and neither my phone nor my laptop complete a handshake anymore. This has been like this through any and all versions of Unraid.

I'm so done with this. I just want it to work reliably with no fuss. How is it being this obtuse?

I am assuming you mean the WireGuard VPN Server (the client would normally run on the phone)?

Not sure why you should be having this sort of issue. I have had the Unraid WireGuard VPN Server running for years now with a wide variety of clients. Not that this directly helps you, but it suggests there is some other factor at work on your system.

Give the tailscale plugin a try. Unraid's wiregurd VPN is a bit rudimentary (albeit it does work for me)
