Comment on Accessing Unbound DNS on my phone through Wireguard VPN

• Evkob@lemmy.ca ⁨21⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  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.

        Well again, that’s not how the Internet works.
