Can't access containers remotely
Can't access containers remotely
Hey everyone. So I created a wire guard tunnel to my home network in order to access my are containers but all I can access is my router login page and one of my access point login page. All being in the same range is 192.168.3.1(router), 192.168.3.2 (access point and switch) and 192.168.3.10 server. My arr listen to their respective ports ie 8989 for sonarr etc. When I'm at home I reach them with no issues. What could be the reason I can't access them remotely?
Wireguard only gets you to the endpoint. You need extra routes from there.
Post your wg config, and possibly the staticnroute table on the router. What kind of OS the router is using might help as well to understand possible firewall rules being a problem.
Solution may be as simple as adding a static route to the Wireguard subnet so your other hosts can find it.
Ah makes sense. I'm using a Mikrotik router and implemented the Back to Home function which automatically creates the tunnel and all firewall configs. Supposedly it's like me being in my home network but I need to look into your suggestions.
To add, here's an example of my OpenVPN config addition to ensure 192.168.3.* is accessible over VPN
verb 5 push "route 192.168.3.0 255.255.255.0 vpn_gateway"OpenVPN does routing a tad differently, but same point applies. Network clients need to know where to go to find a route that isn't part of the home subnet they are joined too. With containers in the mix without bridging, the host needs to know that the WG subnet can be found at the router.
I'm not familiar with wireguard but I use Tailscale and it works really well
Can you ping the server through your tunnel? Maybe try a traceroute to see if it gets through your router correctly.
If this does work, check if the arrs have some "restrict to local network" setting.
If not, I'd check the firewall logs on your router to see if it is blocking the connection.
You can set up one device to do masquerading and forwarding then you can see entire lan
