Hey all, a few things to note about this in 2022, coming into 2023: 1. Unraid now has the Wireguard - Dynamix plugin already built-in. No need to download it via the Community Applications plug-in. 2. When downloading the DuckDNS Docker container, make sure you have 'Host' selected for "Network Type". I'm not sure why, but mine kept defaulting to 'br0'. This created quite a few issues. 3. I'm not sure if my experience is the same as others, but right after you create your new Wireguard tunnel, make sure to turn the tunnel itself on! Juan's Wireguard tunnel automatically turned on after he created it, but for me (running Unraid 6.11.5), it had to be turned on manually. I spent about 10-15 minutes tinkering with it wondering why it was not working. It's because the tunnel wasn't activated. 😅 I hope this helps someone out there in some way, shape, or form!

I'd like to add that I've only got the tunnel to connect after I restarted my Unraid server and modem, maybe this could help someone save some time troubleshooting.

5 minutes in and out? Now THAT is how you do a video guide. Thank you Juan!

Lifesaver!

I was seriously confused as to why my Unraid had issues with Wireguard, but this video brought the point across so extremely easily and with no padding, absolutely terrific!

This was the best video I could find on the subject; very concise and easy to follow. Great work!

Great tutorial, at 3:02 remember to change the slider up the top from OFF to Autostart, or like me you'll be wondering why your VPN isn't working after rebooting your UnRAID box :D

Great tip!

Hey man, thanks a lot for the videos. Honestly, you have made me learning Unraid so much easier. Always down to the point and easy to understand!

This video is perfect. No nonsense, clear and concise instructions, well presented. Worked perfectly. Instant subscribe.

Excellent video, been using openvpn for a while but wanted to change over to wireguard and your tutorial was exactly what I needed. Thank you!

great video, keep it up, the videos on Unraid are always interesting, I look forward to the next one 👏

One of the best technical explainer videos I've ever seen. Thanks!

Thank you Juan! Your videos have helped a lot with my Unraid server :)

Hey Juan, this video helped me a lot. Easy to follow, easy to understand. Thank you and keep it up :)

Smashed it in 5 minutes. Thanks for being direct to the point.

Short, sweet, to the point. Subscribed.

straight to the point. learned something new in as little as 5 mins. thank you!

Thank you! This was very easy and setup was better than setting up OpenVPN.

Really nice video that is short and sweet! Two thumbs up sir!

Thanks so much, clear and concise instructions for a first timer and i'm all set up and running.

Amazing video, subscribed :) keep up the good work!!

Thanks a lot! Very good job on the tutorial. Straight to the point.

Fantastic video Juan. Made set up so easy.

EXCELLENT VIDEO you go over everything so its easy to follow thanks again

Awesome tutorial dude. I was able to get set up within 15 minutes start to finish.

Another great video Juan thanks

Your videos have created my Unraid server. Thank you!

Thank you and happy Holidays 🍻!

Thank you, Juan! This was a very quick an easy setup.

Thanks, super helpful. I got it setup in a few minutes with your instructions.

Thank you! That was so much easier than OpenVPN and surprisingly so!

Thanks for the guide! Worked well for me

Thanks, that helped A LOT! Very good!

Wish i found your video 3 hours ago. I did this using portainer and docker compose which is fine. However, I had to stumble through figuring out public IP, realizing that can change, finding duck dns and figuring all that out with your video. Just doing this through unraid and following your video would have been much faster. My main docker-vm is on a more efficient machine though so happy i figured it out cause unraid machine is first to shut down on ups etc and has less critical infrastructure vs my proxmox machine.

staring into my soul, great video without the fluff.

Very smooth and clear. The Vid and the Tut. Thanks.

You sir, are a credit to your profession! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Set it up and it works great! Now my trip won't be so bad as I'll have full access to my server.

thanks for the quality information!

My goodness that was SOOOO much easier than setting up openVPN!!!

Muchas gracias Juan. Excelente tutorial.

nice job Juan! Thank you!

Did exactly how you said, but only difference is that I have a static public IP. Works like a charm, many thanks!

Great vid man thanks.

Thanks for the great tutorial =)

Smooth Tutorial ...... Thank you! so much

You're the man!! Thank you sir!!

Great Video !!!

Wireguard is a game changer, I love it.

Thank you very much for your video

Thank you so MUCH JUAN!!!! I have been battleing setting my VPN back up for 3-4 days just switched from a Nighthawk to a USG Unifi device and the built in VPN on adroid 12 is broke I was useing Openvpn on the nighthawk though that is no longer a option . also with your video I had it setup in 5 mins I would hug you right now if I could !!!!

thanks Juan !

Thanks a lot Friend! Realy like your Videos!

Great vid, struggled with wireguard and ended up using it on a Pi running HA, having trouble with conbee passthrough running HA in Unraid but that's a different long and harrowing story 🤣, anyway set up using this vid and bang in first time, many thanks.👍

Fantastic video.

Thanks Juan very helpful, just to add since the video is from a year ago, WireGuard is now automatically installed in unraid, no need to install the package on the newer version of unraid, just go to settings>VPN manager

Thanks for this, new to unraid and this was very helpfull. would love to see a tut about unraid security in general

Great video

Thanks, was looking for a video like this because the openvpn-as docker was deprecated

Thank you Juan. Will try this option. Openvpn As is not available anymore on unraid.So good alternative.

thank you!

Excellent, Guga Technology

Amazing...

Great tutorial - thanks! Super concise. That said, i went through the steps and added my main (Win10) PC as a peer and then it lost network connection so I had to disable WinGuard on that PC to get it back. I probably need to follow it through again to see what went wrong.

did you get it sorted? I'm having no luck.

great video and easy explained without taking 10or more mins! Is it possible you do a video about paperless?

How do you setup up Server to server or Site to Site to have access to the remote server shares for offsite backup? Thank you for sharing

great video Juan, can you maybe explain why i cant connect to internet from my laptop only lan when using wireguard

Hey Juan! Thanks for this; worked a treat! My newb question is, should I be concerned about leaving the tunnel on AutoStart? Or should I disable it until I am getting ready to travel since the only time I need access is when I am not at home? Sorry for the stupid new user question!

subscribed

very informative video. Very new to unraid and I'm loving it. So when connecting to the wireguard tunnel, which should I input on the URL, my local domain server name or the IP Address? Also, why do we need the duckdns for wireguard again? Just a noob

Thank you, great video! What is the reason for creating different peers for different devices? Can different devices use the same peer?

Can you Show how to Route pihole through wireguard? And great Tutorial;-)

Great video and I can now connect to my unraid box from outside. However, all traffic stops there. I cannot get to the internet or any other device on the home network from the connected device. The Peer DNS server is set to my home router IP and I am using Remote Tunneled Access. Can you help me here?

非常感谢您的讲解，解决了我设置上的迷惑

hello, any idea how to get unraid wireguard working with adguard home if both are running on the same subnet? The DNS will not resolve if both IPs are on the same subnet for some reason (but will work if you use another subnet or external DNS server). Thanks for your videos btw - very helpful!

Hey Juan, any suggestions for troubleshooting when the handshake keeps timing out?

Great video man. Would it be the same process to create a vpn tunnel out? Cause I've not been able to get it working using Azire. Thanks.

hey juan, great video but i keep getting a "peer update required", is there a way to troubleshoot this, as the tunnel fails to work.

Thank you, so if my phone is in my local network and i have PIhole/Adguard set up, my phone has a adblocker that doesn´t drains my phones battery ? Sounds brilliant

A lot more cleaner and quicker than openvpn

I had followed this guide about a year ago and it worked. Not sure at what point it stopped, might have been during my network upgrades but it wouldn't connect. I have restarted this process and changed my Duck DNS and no connection. Port forwarding is correct. Any suggestions?

good video, but I do have a question, do you know if it is possible to put 2FA on the vpn, and if so how?

How would you do remote server to local server between 2 unraid boxes?

Juan, this was great! I am still unable to get a validation on any of my peers. I port forwarded 51820 but when I check online to see if that port is open, the website tells me its closed. I am wondering now if I should just get a different router w/ Pfsense or something similar to manage my connections. Dealing with AT&T 5268AC Pace PLc is a pain in the rear.

Hi, am I able to set up a VPN like this if I am behind a CGNAT? thanks

So much better than OpenVPN. Faster and actually stays connected all the time.

Yes it is.

Would you recommend tailscale over this?

love to see an unraid to unraid remote connection across wiregaurd with it now built into unraid

Great tutorial! Now how can I have another container's traffic to go through that VPN tunnel?

What is the link I use on the client computer to access the NAS server?

Please make a video on how to set up a site-to-site connection!

Can i add a docker app to the wireguard VPN? Would be good to be able to route some docker apps through the VPN.

hi there, can you access the router when using this? it seems i'm able to access any ip address except the router.

Dear sir, I am new for Unraid, i copy your every step in this video but I didn't figure out how to use my iPhone to connect to Unraid server or shared file. could you explain more for it?

i followed this guide and its working great, however since i configured argo tunnel on my server this doesn't work anymore

Can i use WireGuard to Log into my Home-LAN remotely? Like connect to my VPN via WireGuard and then browse to my unraid-server and change settings n stuff?

Can I use this for torrenting too? Or do I need a separate service like Mullvad VPN for that? I'm trying to figure out how to use wireguard on a qbittorrent container.

will this work on no-ip instead of duckdns? if so how would you do that? my openvpn stop working so i want to try wireguard

does this tutorial works behind CGNAT?

It seems to work on my laptop, however when I add to my iPhone, it connects, but I have no internet access.

How do I do Server to server VPN? I want to access the Unraid behind a double router on server side. On user side I only got on router and port forwarding works her. Is it possible to call home from server as a client and make a small nuc unraid vpn server at home in ordet to acces subnets at serverside? I want to access my nextcloud.

How about when I'm behind CGNAT of my ISP?
