Comment on Accessing Unbound DNS on my phone through Wireguard VPN

When connected through wireguard can you access anything on the local network?

Also sometimes if you’re on an LAN trying to vpn into itself you get weird network issues. Does this issue also happen when you’re on another network and vpning back?

Also there’s a lot of great videos on YouTube to set this up things like Lawrence systems and network Chuck.

Not exactly sure what the issue is here but gave you the up vote for visability and hopefully someone smarter then me will know.

Everything works as expected with Wireguard otherwise, I can ssh into my server or my desktop, and access the other things hosted on my server (although these are all through Docker, which is why I suspect container isolation to be an issue).

Does this issue also happen when you’re on another network and vpning back?

Yup, same issues whether I’m on the local network, the WiFi at work, or on LTE.

  If I don’t remember wrong Android will always use your DNS config over the WG provided one so make sure to leave it blank. As for the routing I have a alternative solution that could maybe work using this app in combination with the WG tunnel. But when it comes to your current setup I suggest you try the following.
  
  Make sure that the IP and port of your DNS are accessible from your Phone you can use Termux if you want to ping and do a nc to do this.
  
  Make sure that the network that your WG connects to has its default DNS setup to be your unbound.
  
  Consider getting a Router that can run OpenWRT and then learn about vlans to create two networks(also 2 wifis) one for your roomates and one for you. Also you could setup WG on the OpenWRT router itself!
  
  If you really want to solve this problem you might want to read up on routing and networking in general! I suggest you start with Wikipedia! That’s atleast where I started! :D
  
  I wish you good luck on you self hosting experience!
