I made a test of wireguard in a kubernetes cluster but was not super happy with that, so I tried in an lxc container and was struggling with the turnkey template when I watched your video you saved my day :) I put the turnkey to the garbage and start from a fresh vanilla os with the script of Nyrt, it works well. Many thanks for your content, I enjoyed it :)
When people got all hard to piss on the Boomers about telling you to walk in there and shake hands, they neglected to tell you that all that bullshit moved sideways to things like boring industry events where you still go to wag actual business cards at people. People do the hiring, and they don't change. They will give the job to the person with a face and a name in their mind. The internet is just the dingus you use to turn your name into a resume splash page for them. Sure, if you want any old unskilled job just keep filling out apps, but not if you want the good jobs.
I see where you're coming from. It’s all about making yourself memorable to the people who do the hiring. Online applications are just a piece of the puzzle; the face-to-face interactions and industry events are where you really stand out. That was kind of my point when I mentioned "become more personable". Sure, things are being more automated, but like you said, PEOPLE are doing the hiring, and for the good jobs, being personable can go a long way.
How come you have just 181 Subscribers?! Everything was so professional about this video, I am manifesting to see cross 100k subscribers in under a year and over a million by next 3 years. Keep making such great content on interesting topics.
lol you’re right it has nothing to do with homelabbing directly but it’s definitely something you could use for any VMs running windows. Thats at least something I’ve done
So I’ve virtualized Opnsense as my firewall on Proxmox and intend to install Wireguard in the same manner as you did. How do I get the OpnSense and Wireguard to communicate though? Through Port Forwarding?
I have been banging my head regarding wire guard. Everything appears to go through except I cant connect to the internet. On the android, it shows Transmitting but not receiving. I dont know whats preventing the hand shake. And yes I have done the port forward on router.
of all videos I watched on this topic, this was the most comprehensive. My setup worked like a charm thanks to your guidance. Well done and keep them coming!
Last I checked, powershell doesn’t support ssh-copyid. There are scripts out there that you can download which mimic the command but I just took the route of copying the ssh key manually so that I can keep it simple for the audience.
Yes, the vscode extension allows you to act as if vscode is installed on the remote machine... because it is. VSCode ssh will install a thin "cli" client on the remote machine. You can install extensions. Work in the scope of a project. One-off edits to any file you like. You can even add *minimal* configuration to have vscode to act as the $EDITOR for any command. The same goes for any of the remote tools in "ms-vscode-remote.vscode-remote-extensionpack" (extension id). WSL: yes. SSH: yes. Tunnels: yes. Devcontainers: yes! You can even nest connections. Want to connect to a devcontainer on a remote machine? You can do that!
Big thanks!! Actually used your video a few months to configure successfully but something changed on my end so I had to do it again but I didnt remember which video I used. I tried all of the ones from the popular YT but for some reason still couldn't get it working. I finally found yours again and 10 minutes later, I'm back in business! Subbed!
Really nice video. I followed everything just link you did. I didnt change the port to avoid any port forwarding. But after creating tunnel in my phone, I am not able to get internet. I tried with default DNS server and the google DNS server on different phones. But same result. About my setup, I have connected one LAN cable from my ISP modem to my mini pc where proxmox and wireguard are running. My phone is still on the ISP modem wifi. The second LAN port on my minipc is not connected to anything. Can you please help?
You have to port forward. You have to port forward the specified port for Wireguard. This will allow incoming connection requests from the internet to go straight to WireGuard. You cannot avoid port forwarding. Hope that helps, let me know if you have any other questions!
@@homelabd oh... Unfortunately my ISP router (Vodafone Germany) doesn't support it. Will try to get a new router and get this one to bridge mode. Thank you for your quick reply :)
@@akhileshsooraj No problem! Yep, I always recommend owning your own router & modem. Most ISP provided equipment have an additional monthly cost to them and are missing key features.
good tutorial! the bit about the Proxmox OpenVPN documentation helped me with my unprivileged container. One thing to note is that since WireGuard uses UDP, the default port is typically acceptable since it will not respond to unauthenticated requests.
Excellent video. I'm a very old neophyte. Now that wireguard is installed in proxmox and on my phone. What do i do next? I did port forward my port inputted during the configuration to the jellyfin port in truenas Now how do i access the port when i'm away? I think you could add an example of this to your current video for completion sake. Thank you for the excellent presentation
Hey William! On the wireguard app within your phone, you can create your connection via QR code. You can then scan the QR code that is shown within your wireguard installation on proxmox. Then on the mobile app, all you have to do is toggle on the tunnel and you should be connected to your VPN. I showcase this towards the end of the video. Also, thank you for watching!
@@homelabd Many Thanks for your time and prompt reply. Didi all of that.. when i open WG on my phone i toggled the icon to the right. OK. Now i'm away what IP address i insert in my phone's google? I did the port forwarding on my router Again thank you for your help
@@williambravin1254 Sorry, I'm not sure if I understand you correctly. You don't have to insert any IP address into your phone's web browser. Once you are connected to the VPN, you are done. No further steps needed. You can, however, test whether or not you are successfully connected to the VPN. By typing in the IP address of your proxmox server on your phone's preferred browser, you see if you can access your homelab hosted within your network, while you are OUTSIDE the network. For instance, while I am abroad I can simply activate my wireguard VPN on my phone, and access my proxmox virtual environment. I would not be able to do this without direct access to my home network. This is just an example as there are many use-cases. Hopefully that clarifies things.
I've been trying many options, on my router, openvpn on my server, etc., etc., for a longer time that I'm willing to admit to. Finally bumped into your video (I guess the tech gods were in my favor) and got it done so easily! Thank you! Hope you do some more videos to follow you on
This worked great for me on Ubuntu 23.04 lxc container image, thanks. Initially i couldn't get it working because it turned out i was port forwarding to the proxmox host, not the vpn server, as i did not realise the container appeared as a separate client within my routers client list.
Thanks so much for this mate. I have been re-organising my homelab and wanted to get Wireguard up a level into an isolated Proxmox LXC and out of a docker container in a Linux VM. I was stuck until i found this video. Sorted me out a treat. An easy to follow, well structured video. Cheers
HELP. thank you so much, i ran into an issue during the installation procedure, so I created the container and followed the steps to where you paste Wirguard Get link And I get this message The system does not have the TUN device available. TUN needs to be enabled before running this installer.
Hi, normally don't comment but wireguard has been the bane of my homelab journey. Always had issues with not being able to access my local apps. I had it working in a VM but I'm trying to use LXCs for everything. This video solved all my problems. Very clear. You mentioned asking for feedback. I'd say your layout worked great and adding chapters is a HUGE plus for me. I think I'd just say improve your lighting and maybe try to project your voice a bit more. I've heard people do this alot cause they're using their indoor voice like being in discord with friends. For clarification you speak very clearly but I feel improving in this area will give your videos more personality. That combined with your concise explanations and straight to the point explaining is what I look for in these sorts of videos. Thanks alot!
Thank you for the kind words!!!! I'm glad I was able to help. Also, I greatly appreciate the feedback. Its interesting, my voice changes the moment there's a camera in front of me. I think its something I still have to get used to if I want to continue making these types of videos (which I do).
if having issues port forwarding, hers all i did using tp-link router: 1. Go to router admin web GUI (google you're model for specifics if not tp-link) 2. go to nat forwarding / port forwarding 3. add the VPN server IP to port forwarding page 4. I use PPTP service with both TCP and UDP protocol enabled 5. specify the port you used in wireguard config (default was 51820)
Why did you select DHCP when setting up the container? And why did this work for you instantly? I'm pretty sure I need to set up port forwarding on my router, which I would expect is easier with a static IP.
@@JspectraX I'm guessing you didn't port forward. You have to port forward the specified port for Wireguard. This will allow incoming connection requests from the internet to go straight to WireGuard (so sorry for the extremely late reply, hopefully this can still help someone).
