I do have my own web server running centos 7 i could use. I am planning to buy a small mini-pc that will be running home assistant and frigate for recording my camera’s and integrating AI detection into my smart home. It seems the best installation for that is debian.
I have a router that is using a wireguard vpn, that does not allow port forwarding, so i need an alternative to access the mini-pc.
Now, of course there’s some things to be found when googling, but my preference goes to the most easy-to-use solution as i’m not great with linux, i just mess around digging through configs, copy-pasting instructions and getting stuff done that way. This is why I wanted to ask you guys for advice =)
Would appriciate assistance!
Set up a reverse tunnel to the outside box that you want to get in from.
For example, from the inside machine:
ssh outsidemachine -R 2222:localhost:22Then on your outsidemachine:
ssh -p 2222 localhostMaybe run top or something just to keep traffic going across so that firewalls don’t drop your connection.
If you haven’t read this information in the 100’s of other post on this subject or the wiki what good would it do to answer it again?
If you have a VPN router, your router literally has remote access built in as a feature. The VPN can be connected to remotely, and allow you to access locally hosted services. I use mine for such a purpose. When configured correctly, your VPN connection makes your device get treated like it’s on the local network.
What do you mean “a router that is using a wireguard vpn” ? Why not just add your device as an endpoint in wireguard?
I want the whole house to be automatically protected. Incl many smart home devices. So every device that connects to the router, is going through the vpn.
