Mmmmmm, tunnels sound boring haha I might try figuring out wireguard. Do you have any trusted guides on it? Or should I just google :P
Good thing about wireguard is it's really simple. Google should get it done, if you get stuck send me a DM. I started with basic wireguard, I now run firezone in docker as I like the frontend.
(I'm gonna copy what I said in another comment lol)
I don’t know if I’m shooting myself in the foot by trying to do in docker for now or not, but I’d rather do that before I do it on bare metal. It seems to work already, as I can see that my IP changes on my phone when I access it. Hell, I can even access my routers’ dashboard. However, I still can’t access the services on the server (by IP, like 192.x.x.x:8989), which I can access if I'm on Wi-Fi. So I’m trying to figure that out. Any ideas?
Hmm do a traceroute and see where it's dying. Can you ping inside IP of the tunnel on the wireguard server? What about outside?
What did you deploy in docker, firezone or basic wireguard?
Does your phone say connected and you see both incoming and outgoing packets? Is there a firewall in place on the wireguard host (ufw maybe)?
If you have nmap available you can also check port status.
Yup, run journalctl and I can see ufw blocking requests. Now just need to figure out how to allow it
EDIT: Adding a rule "ufw allow from 192.x.x.x/24" fixed it, just need to find out if THAT's secure now lmao
You can bound ufw rules to interfaces, so you can allow in only on the wg0 interface and not eth0 interface.
Glad it's working! I love wireguard!
I couldn't use the interface, as wg is in a docker container, but I used the container IP, and it seems to be working. Huge thanks! Now I can get rid of Cloudflare and related containers :D (just need to fix the homepage first, I'm not using IPs for services lol)
Honestly it couldn’t be simpler. Look at wg-easy docker container. You’ll be up and running in 10 minutes.
