i figured it out i had dns in the client wiregaurd config

GNU/MacOS/TimApple/Proprietary/Unix Which is all apart of the SystemD Operating system

Sudontplease :P

Weres crowd strike windows shitting the bed when u need it

Grammer is for english class or grammer community’s. Who cares

Yeah is guide is pretty useful! i went with setting up wireguard instead of openvpn. For a while now ive been self hosting alot of my stuff, SearXNG with gluetun tunneling, minecraft server for me and the boys and a Samba Share instead of paying for some dopey cloud storage. Ive gotten ZFS running in a 1tb z1 pool for my containers and plan to add a 10tb Z2 pool for long term storage and backups. i chose to do it in NixOS instead of debian or ubuntu, just because im a little bit of a nut for immutability.

its actually kinda funny i just left a post asking for help setting up wiregaurd server on c/selfhosted and referenced louis’s guide! Also i gotta add thats EPIC you got 10gbps internet, i went with a glinet flint 2 for my router. Because it runs openwrt under the hood, i personally like openwrt alot. there are people that swear by pfsense or opensense because of the bsd network stack, is very well maintained and secure as alot of commercial products like switches and firewalls run pfsense under the hood. for security and vlans pfsense would probably be better from what i heard. But openwrt works pretty well aswell, and i ended up just going with the flint 2 because it has 2.5gb wan in and 1 2.5gb lan. which was more than enough more my measly 1-2gb internet.

so for example, setting 192.168.8.170 on the clients as the only allowed IP aswell as the server would do what i need? thanks for helping trying to navigate my labyrinth of networking :P

For client example [Interface] Address = 10.0.0.3/24 ListenPort = 51820 PrivateKey = magic numbers

[Peer] PublicKey = magic numbers

PresharedKey = magic numbers

AllowedIPs = 192.168.8.170 Endpoint = magic numbers"

For server example

peers = [

{ #friend1 publicKey = “magic numbers and letters”; allowedIPs = [ “192.168.8.170/24” ]; endpoint = “magic numbers and letters”; presharedKey = “magic numbers and letters”; persistentKeepalive = 25; }

{ # My phone publicKey = “magic numbers and letters”; allowedIPs = [ “192.168.8.170/24” ]; endpoint = “magic numbers and letters”; presharedKey = “magic numbers and letters”; persistentKeepalive = 25; }

{# friend 2 publicKey = “magic numbers and letters”; allowedIPs = [ “192.168.8.170/24” ]; endpoint = “magic numbers and letters”; presharedKey = “magic numbers and letters”; persistentKeepalive = 25;

} {# friend 3 publicKey = “magic numbers and letters”; allowedIPs = [ “192.168.8.170/24” ]; endpoint = “magic numbers and letters”; presharedKey = “magic numbers and letters”; persistentKeepalive = 25; }

neat web app! the drawings kinda suck tho, but thats just a skill issue on my part :P

so if i understand this correctly, it runs a docker container to which runs the wireguard server and then you just specify hostname/ip adress for the services, then when sombody tunnels in they have acess to only the services specifide in config file? if so looks pretty useful!, i just question what happens to the rest of the traffic? is it locally routed in my network or client side? im not very familiar with proxys, i know what they are but have never really messed with one. Thanks for sharing

ok ill try to explain to the best of my ability and simply it.

i no longer want to use tailscale, because of accounts. i used to use tailscale for the minecraft server i want my friends to be able to acess only 192.168.8.170 on my local network and all other traffic to not be routed through my vpn but my friends to have acess to there internet on there LAN. example, we can play minecraft on the server on my network and we can be in a group call in signal. meaning friend 1 and 2 are using there internet connection locally, and only 192.168.8.170 being routed.

We also had some connectivity issues with tailscale, where friend 1 would be on and friend 2 would lag out of the server randomly. when if we played a game through steam we wouldnt have any connection issues. my friend is also very forgetful and cant log into his tailscale account, which is another reason why i wanna ditch tailscale.

so my friends wiregaurd config is

Old Client Config

"[Interface] Address = 10.0.0.3/24 ListenPort = 51820 PrivateKey = magic numbers

[Peer] PublicKey = magic numbers PresharedKey = magic numbers AllowedIPs = 0.0.0.0/0, ::/0 Endpoint = magic numbers"

So if i understand the article correctly, i need to change it to

New client config

"[Interface] Address = 10.0.0.3/24 ListenPort = 51820 PrivateKey = magic numbers

[Peer] PublicKey = magic numbers

PresharedKey = magic numbers

AllowedIPs = 0.0.0.0/0, ::/0 Endpoint = magic numbers" Split tunneling: Exclude certain traffic from the VPN

PostUp = ip rule add from 192.168.50.0/24 table main

PostDown = ip rule delete from 192.168.50.0/24 table main

my friends LAN is 192.168.50.0/0 so im assuming were just trying to tell wireguard that anything within my friends subnet doesnt get routed? which means he will still be able to reach HigherGround@'192.168.8.170? and all of his other traffic will be local to him and go through his router?

im confused what “table” and “main” are im assuming its apart of iptables rules? im pretty new to IP tables so forgive me for my lack of understanding. i know its basically a linux purest firewall LMAO,

Then on my server i would edit

This allows the wireguard server to route your traffic to the internet and hence be like a VPN

  postUp = ''
    ${pkgs.iptables}/bin/iptables -A FORWARD -i cavein0 -j ACCEPT
    ${pkgs.iptables}/bin/iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o enp5s0 -j MASQUERADE
  '';

  # Undo the above
  preDown = ''
    ${pkgs.iptables}/bin/iptables -D FORWARD -i cavein0 -j ACCEPT
    ${pkgs.iptables}/bin/iptables -t nat -D POSTROUTING -o enp5s0 -j MASQUERADE
  '';

And make it like this?

This allows the wireguard server to route your traffic to the internet and hence be like a VPN

  postUp = ''
    ${pkgs.iptables}/bin/iptables -A FORWARD -i cavein0 -j ACCEPT
    ${pkgs.iptables}/bin/iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o enp5s0 -j MASQUERADE
    ${pkgs.busybox/bin/ip rule add from 192.168.50.0/24 table main
  '';

  # Undo the above
  preDown = ''
    ip rule add from 192.168.1.0/24 table main
    ${pkgs.iptables}/bin/iptables -D FORWARD -i cavein0 -j ACCEPT
    ${pkgs.iptables}/bin/iptables -t nat -D POSTROUTING -o enp5s0 -j MASQUERADE
    ${pkgs.busybox/bin/ip rule delete from 192.168.50.0/24 table main
  '';

Right? or is step 4 on the client still? its not very clear in the article thanks for helping out!

gronk use ms paint to describe. gronk bad at explaining so he draws pretty pictures :P

Honestly for saying it deanonizes people is a bit of a fibracation. Yes theoretically a threat actor could figure out what clould flare DNS sever it is. But that really doesnt do much realistically. For example qouting the researcher “i live in new york and my closest data center is in new Jersey”. Realistically what can a hacker do with that, other than know you live somewhere near new Jersey. The threat actor would gain very little and the information they supposedly gained isnt verifiable. You live near NJ but to the threat actor they would assume you live in NJ. Which is a red hairing, and thats not even bring up VPN’s or TOR into the equations. Which 99% of journalist use all the time for amenity. So in conclusion the information they gain is about the same as saying “i may or may not be near this cloudflare server”

monotone “yes mr gates i will upgrade to windows 11 and buy all the windows 11 office utilitys. Microsoft edge is the best browser it frees me from the scary concepts of choices”

"What do you mean mr computer man? I just turned on my chrome book and am watching tiktok while writting this comment. Mr computer man why cant i just unlock everything. Stop using fancy techno bable like TCIP and AES? I just want a sticky note with the master key, i also want the key to narinia and the ability to teleport. Mr techno man, please and thank you. Mr robit give me the master key like in 1995 hackers with the shitty ass mini glasses and the random terminal output "

Some people speak of things they dont comprehend and try to give advice beyond there intelligence.

But what about micro :P

Honestly i feel micro is a child of vim and nano. Powerful addons and visual support. With simple keybinds

You gotta remember there are people who get there kids to be drug mules. So yes in this instance it seems weird. But theres about 1 million ways people have tried to smuggle things. No matter the ethics, inside concealment. Hollowing out containers replacing normal products with stubstances or precursors to make drugs.

I watch alot of “Austrian border security” on youtube and you would not believe some way people try to smuggle stuff. A few months ago they imbedded precursors to make meth. Inside of a less than 1mm clear sheet of plastic. Crazy shit

I never used a proxy. I have it setup that gluetun opens port 8080 as the network host. So all traffic is routed through gluetun, i verified it by installing traceroute in the searx container.

Thats my whole stack

yeah its S tier!

As AOL guy once said

“You got mail”

Damnn what an uptime! Cheer to that!
