Comment on Accessing Unbound DNS on my phone through Wireguard VPN
Evkob@lemmy.ca 19 hours agoThe reason for the VPN is to have access to my Unbound DNS on my phone from anywhere, not only my local network. If I just wanted to configure the DNS on my local network, I’d set up static IP for my network in Android’s settings and input the DNS server manually. This works fine when I set it up, but like I said I want to use Unbound on my phone anywhere via Wireguard.
I’m not sure what’s the second thing you want me to clarify! Sorry for the confusion, I appreciate you trying to help out :)

So then just open the Unbound server to the internet, assign a hostname to it, and use it. Simple.

I could do that, but I want to avoid opening ports on my router’s firewall apart from the one necessary for Wireguard. I can access all my other stuff through Wireguard, but I can’t wrap my head around why it seemingly can’t access Unbound on the local host.

Well that’s how the Internet works, bud. You’re opening a port for WG to start. Either make that work and correct your routing, or find another solution.
You’re not going to be stealthy by making this overcomplicated. You’re just adding extra steps. You don’t want to use DHCP to its benefits locally, and you don’t wantbto open ports…what magic do you want to happen here?

I’d rather not open ports I don’t have to. I don’t see why I’d have to open a port when Unbound works on my local network and I have access to my local network via Wireguard. I can access a whole slew of services through that one Wireguard port, why wouldn’t Unbound work?
Thanks anyway for trying to help, bud.
