@selfhosted strange problem. I have a raspberrypi as vpn gateway. I have a reolink cctv. It emails me when motion. If i use openvpn, it works fine. If i use wireguard, it does not work. If i connect to the vpn gateway on my laptop, openvpn and wg forward the laptop traffic fine. The openvpn and wg is connects to the same commerical vpn service.

Maybe DNS or something in the WG config?

@b1g_bake yeah i thought that. Do not think it is dns as did tcpdump and it brings up the right domain for the email. Can only think it could be the wg conf or the maybe routes?

Try taking pieces out until you narrow down the issue.

IE: bring a WG tunnel up direct between your phone and home without the commercial VPN. Keep adding layers back in until something breaks.

So the Pi connects to a commercial VPN?

@AtariDump yeah. I cam use openvpn or wireguard, would like to use wireguard as a lot faster

Are you using FQDNs (Full Qualified Domain Names)? WireGuard doesn’t resolve FQDNs.

@AtariDump did a tcpdump, and dns is working, have self hosted pihole. It is really strange.
