openvpn-install VS wg-easy

and for OpenVPN: https://github.com/Nyr/openvpn-install

I'm trying to establish a private torrenting setup using qBittorrent on my local whitebox server machine using Ubuntu 22.04 and a Virtual Private Server (VPS) as a VPN using Ubuntu 22.04 and OpenVPN (I used https://github.com/Nyr/openvpn-install). My local machine, acting as a private tracker seedbox, has qBittorrent installed and configured to use port 15986 for inbound connections with tun0 as the network interface.

Hello, I installed an OpenVPN server on my Centos server using the easy install script here https://github.com/Nyr/openvpn-install.git My client is MacOS and it works fine for the most part BUT I need to access devices on the server's LAN When I'm using my home internet, I can access the server fine but everything that is not in the same subnet as what OpenVPN gave me does not work. When using LTE and network sharing on my computer, I can still access the server and now I can also access devices on the server's LAN that is not in the same subnet as OpenVPN. I don't understand why it behave like this and I want to always be able to access the server's LAN when connecting to the VPN.

My idea would be to create a Debian VM on Proxmox, and install OpenVPN using Nyr script (https://github.com/Nyr/openvpn-install) and create a user for each of my friends.

After browsing through, I've noticed that three options seem to be gaining traction: Netmaker, wg-easy, and headscale. I'm curious to know if these solutions are interchangeable, and if there are specific reasons to choose one over the others. I'd also like to understand if they are complete stacks, meaning, once set up, could I easily replace one admin GUI with another, or would I need to tear down and rebuild the VPN?

WireGuard is the solution to everything! It has an app and they can easily login via a QR code that you send them. For the server I would recommend wg-easy, there you can manage all user accounts in a web interface.

I use this, https://github.com/WeeJeWel/wg-easy

Dashboard with access to the QR and config files for clients as well as bandwidth data. Even something as simple as wg-easy would be great.

I run wg-easy https://github.com/WeeJeWel/wg-easy for this sort of thing. I use the docker container, and it's great. "Just works".

Also, unrelated, I just decided I don't like the sentiment of "PiMyProjectName" branding. I know most projects don't just run on a Pi, and that the intent is to say "you can self-host thing", but at this point if you want to run a home server sort of thing, just buy some cheap 100-200 dollar minipc thing. That's how much you'd pay for a Pi now anyway, and it comes with such great features as:

* just establishing an ssh connection doesn't take multiple seconds

* the ethernet doesn't go over a usb hub

* it doesn't run on an sd card that is going to fail within a year

I'm pretty dismissive of ARM chips for homelab stuff at this point. There's super cheap minipcs with "real" processors that will just destroy even an expensive ARM board.

Pi's shine with their ability to run both a real/full Linux and also do gpio type stuff that otherwise is usually an arduino board. I don't have anything against low-level programming but damn is it just a lot more fun to do in python. I love the Rpi zero w 2 products for this, just enough juice to run wifi and a python loop, plus the gpio pins. Too bad they've been sold out for literally years.

J'ai installé Wireguard Server sur un VPS en utilisant [https://github.com/weejewel/wg-easy Peer to Peer Ping, mais je ne peux pas ping-ping à des pairs du serveur.

To expand: I'd recommend wireguard it's super easy to run with docker, openvpn is way more annoying to setup The Github page for wg-easy docker image
