THANK YOU!!!! I could never get internet through the wireguard server on my RPi and wasn't ever able to access my RPi smb server remotely until this video! Turns out all I was missing was setting up port forwarding on my router. Now it's working perfectly!
I, as a tech and computing noob, managed after hours to get this working tonight. I found that it wouldn't work unless I disabled IPv6 on my Raspberry Pi network settings. The moment of being able to ping other devices on my network whilst on cellular data,- and see the last login from the client on pivpn, was a 100% GLORIOUS!
Great video, as always! The only critique I have is the part about 14 minutes in where you're choosing static IP vs. dynamic IP. Given the majority of users likely have a dynamic IP from their ISP, I'd say that setting up the DNS is completely within scope of this project.
@@j.c.5011 It depends where in the world you are. Most residential customers in Europe and America have dynamic IPs because they're on IPv4 and their ISP simply doesn't have enough IP addresses. Many customers are even behind double-NAT/CGNAT. In Africa, India, and many other places, IPv6 is the norm and IPv4 is treated as a legacy protocol, so static IPs are much more common. However, even then, your ISP may decide to still dynamically allocate you a /64 range or some such.
Finally. I know this is 1 year old. But I was consistently having issues with the VPN not having internet connection. This time the debug flag actually worked and fixed the issue
Thanks man! I tried to do this a couple years ago but had some difficulty and gave up. Your video was great and I got it working. Now I can access my home server remotely and finally found a use for the pi ZeroW I had collecting dust.
This was perfect, thank you so much. I requested a static IP address from my ISP - but before I was using a DDNS server, which just complicated everything. This was very straight forward - to the point. It even worked even though I was using a PI knock off (Armbian OS). Note for users having issues: Make sure your forwarded port for wireguard is routed to the internal (private) IP address to your Pi on your router. That was my mistake. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Thank you for the clear and perfect explanation! I followed your guide and was able to successfully set it up. Just wanted to share that I used a Raspberry Pi Zero W, and it’s working!
It worked! So I was going to buy another pi to do this but saw somebody using one with pi-hole already installed... so I did that, got the same pi with pi-hole and pivpn installed, the only difference was on pivpn installation dns wizard, I choose the pi-hole instead of the other dns choices. Struggled a bit with the port forwarding on the router but got it working. Home assistant now works with the mobile network on my phone without nabu casa. Thanks!
Been looking for a simple VPN setup for my Orange Pi computers (2 homes). Although I am a little network savy, all of the prior videos on setting up Wireguard scared me away. This script and your great explanations are exactly what I needed. Thanks for posting this great tutorial.
An interesting video Chris, thank you. One observation I had was that your second stint with the phone (after fixing the VPN Forwarding/MASQ issue) had the WiFi icon running rather than the LTE/VPN icon - now I am sure that it would work fine but just for consistency you might like to update this with the appropriate footage. Up to you of course... 😉
LTE was acting up on me during testing (high latency), so I switched to a different network and connected through WiFi. BUT - I was still ‘remote’ (external to my firewall) during that testing…I just didn’t mention the switch-up because it’s essentially the same thing, and takes time to explain what happened when I’m trying to make a concise video.
That was so simple. It was something that i have tried before but not knowing what to look for I tried much more advanced setups that I could not get to work but this worked like a charm!!! Have a pihole that I have been running for a long time so a note it is designed to work with the pihole and from the same pi and will detect that you are running pihole and ask you about it in the setup.
Wait, so I just install piVPN on top of my already existing pihole, and it will set the pivpn dns automatically to the pihole? Ooof! I was going to use a separate pi!
&& specifically means run the next command only if the first command exited successfully for anyone that finds the need to know that. Great video, this helped me figure out my problem, I was using 64 bit
I cannot begin to describe the level of frustration I've been having trying to get Wireguard to talk to my local lan. The debug command in PiVPN is, I think, what I've been missing. My phone is too old to run Wireguard, but I will have the option to test out my iPad and MBP soon. THANK YOU for that little nugget.
I love this channel. I've learned so much. Im a help desk tech, but unfortunately as a level 2 tech, Im not permitted to mess around with the network and understandably so. This is why ive built a homelab to teach myself and my hope is that it helps me move up in my career.
Not sure here, not seeing any other comments.. but at @20:16 you're using your internal LAN and not LTE on your phone, correct? Other than that, great video and walkthrough! Oh and also.. a speed test is missing I think. Could you do a followup with a speed test comparing it with your speeds on LTE and such to see how much speed in/out you get? Of course that is tied to your real Internet speed, but I think I remember you had a couple hundred mbit on your home Internet or even a gbit?
The last couple of years I did three attempts to let PiVPN succeed (openvpn and wireguard) on one of my RPi-3B's. But never succeeded. This time "Mission is accomplished". Thanks to your clear explanation in the video.
Ive tried this multiple times, including setting up a test pfsense router, at least I got to the wireguard installation onto my phone part, seemingly all is in place & should work, but not yet. I'll sleep on it & try it again soon. Wonderful concept only if I can get it working!!! Thanks for the video.
&& is actually more than that. The command after that will only be executed if the return code is 0, meaning that the command before the && has to be successful;). The opposite would be || . To always execute afterwards use ;
your video, helped me solve one tiny problem i had been dealing with for days. the debugging part finally solved my problem. domo arigato, mr roboto lol
Thank you....I've been fighting this for a few days. The debug is what I needed. I didn't need that the first time I installed it and it worked, but this last install only worked after the debug!!
Brilliant guide Chris as always and I have one running at my parents place in NZ, will have one running at my house in AUS and plan to have one running at a family's house in Texas all in the add of being able to use specific streaming services in specific countries. For everybody's benefit I use a GLiNET 300M plugged into an Apple TV because it has an inbuilt wireguard client at different locations around the world. ;)
Great video!! One question: how to setup the VPN server for the client(s) to have Internet access but no access for my home network. The purpose for this is for my friends to connect my VPN but no access to my local network. Thanks!
Really useful video thanks. As a novice however I did have several issues to overcome while following your instructions. It would have been useful to have demonstrated the DDNS option as few have a fixed IP. A link or screenshot of the apps and software used would also be useful. Creating an SSH file is pretty quick and could also have been included. I did get it working in the end so thanks.
Too too perfect!! I've ben struggling for a while with OpenVpn. This is soooooo much easier. My next step is to put it in a docker container. Hopefully the vlan aspect won't give it any fits. That's for another day though. Right now I'm just going to celebrate my Wireguard victory!
As an addition to the subject, can you make a video about how to use obfuscation in combination with Wireguard (and/or OpenVPN) to bypass firewalls that are blocking anything but standard http(s) traffic?
Nicely done. New subscriber here. I watched another video on this subject from another channel before yours and found yours much better explained. Thanks.
Lovely video, is there any way to make so that my Apple TV goes via the PiVPN? Everything works but im trying to figure out how to do this. Can i manually assign an IP via the profiles maybe then use that for the AppleTV?
I am just getting into raspberry pi's and Linux, your tutorial for pihole was very helpful! Curious is it possible to have wireguard,pihole w/unbound all in one raspberry pi? I am having issues accessing pihole dashboard from any other device aside my desktop i ssh to the pi from is that normal? I was also looking to have a NASon the same pi I gave myself the pi 5 8gb for xmas lol overkill i know 🤷♂
With this setup are any ports open (like in port forwarding) that let people get into your network easily? I had a camera hooked up that opened up port forwarding and didn't mention it in the documentation and let someone into my network. Aside from no port forwarding how do you keep people out of your network? That's why I ask if this will allow people into my network!???
Hello again, also what I did not get was how it all started. I see that initially we need to use windows10, which I have, then install this and that, where is rasberry pi in these steps? I'm confused, as a keyboard and screen (how about a mouse, wireless one?P) are recommended, when are they used?
I run a PI 4b with 8 gig of Ram - granted it's one of the fastest PI's, but it's certainly fast enough. So, just for you I hopped on Wifiman app. On my 4G I'm getting 200 MBPS down and 30 up. With Wireguard on I get about 36.3 MBPS down and 16.8 up. I do have IDS/IPS running on my router. I don't know if that impacts speeds for the PI VPN. I'd have to check and see speeds on Wifi.
i have noticed that when you showed phone connectivity you are connected in Wifi not LTE and of course it will work.. got yah. because until Wireguard not working in LTE, in addition you didnt show that you can browse on your cell phone at all...
Interesting video, I finally configure mine using step by step instructions on this video. I am also using IOS phone but which tool are using to ping devices on the network.
Unfortunately this doesn't work for me :( ! I followed all the tutorial and when I activate the VPN on my iPhone wireguard client, I still got the LTE icon on top and not the WIFI one. I'm suspecting that my wireguard server is unreachable from outside and I suspect the configuration step of DNS. Could you help me debugging the DNS part ? How can I be sure to reach my raspberry Pi server from an outside network ? Thanks for your help and great video
nice video!! Did you know that Mikrotik's RouterOS v7.x it comes with WireGuard out of the Box? also OpenVPN and ZeroTier!. That could be a nice alternative
I'm having trouble at port forwarding step, be cause my router doesn't have the settings like in the tutorial. All it has is "Service Name Wan Ports Range Lan Ports Range Type Server IP" so could set the type to UDP and I'm guessing the Server Ip is the Ip of my PiVPN, but what ranges should I set?
Thanks for the great tutorial! I had a question.. If I don't care about remote connection to my home network, just vpn speed/latency at home - would this setup beat my current? Asus Rt-ax88u router with merlin firmware. I'm running wireguard with my purevpn subscription.
I have a PiHole running at my home. One reason I want to set up a PiVPN would be to filter traffic through the PiHole when connected to the VPN. Is there any other configuration required for that to work?
Great tutorial! Been using pivpn for a while but with openvpn... Wireguard seems better, specially because of the possibility of sharing tunnel with qr Code! but it's just too much hassle to reset my VPN 😅
If you had this, would it be safer than if you had a regular VPN on your computer and lets say you accidentally turned off the vpn on the pc, this would be a good fail safe?
Great video. Now that I have pi VPN set-up, all is great, but, I am looking to connect a remote router (one at another house/location) to always use the VPN path into the house using the pi VPN. Can you assist with this?
Could I combine this project on 1 Raspberry Pi with the Pi-hole project you described in another video ( Raspberry Pi 4 - 4Gb - model B - Fan kit - 2019 - with 16GB micro SD)? Or do I need 2 seperate devices?
Great video as always. Is there a way I can VPN in to my network from like a TV (for netflix) ? Just wondering if there is a box at the remote end, that could form a connection to my Pi ?
Thanks, been looking for this for ages, every time I go looking for VPN software all I get is a pile of companies trying to sell me their VPN services (Nord VPN etc.)
Thanks! Here is a beer for you. I think I’ll have some too!

But how you can put dynamic dns in this setup guide, can you please advise
Dead wrong. Most users have a static IP.
@@j.c.5011 It depends where in the world you are. Most residential customers in Europe and America have dynamic IPs because they're on IPv4 and their ISP simply doesn't have enough IP addresses. Many customers are even behind double-NAT/CGNAT. In Africa, India, and many other places, IPv6 is the norm and IPv4 is treated as a legacy protocol, so static IPs are much more common. However, even then, your ISP may decide to still dynamically allocate you a /64 range or some such.
Is there a guide on how to link my duckdns account to my piVPN?
Use the dhcp reservation on your router or hop over to noip to get one. It's pretty easy.
Actually the gateway problem-solving is what I was looking for for like 5 months. Finally I can sleep calmly! Thank you!

Absolutely flawless. Super simple, thank you.
I already have Pihole, thinking of adding this to my network since the UDM Pro does not have a decent VPN option for my android devices.
Looking at the documentation it looks like it is designed to work with this. The information says to install it on the same pi as your pihole.

So I have an older Pi3, can it be used for this? Great Tutorial!
Can I also use this to get the benefit of a pi-hole? (I.e. from mobile devices, vpn home and block ads with pi-hole?)

yeah he did not mentioned that
Always very thorough, thank you.
Excelent video, very comprehensive.

19:11 whay i can not ping to my PiVPN ,my phone has text say the ping software can't use the vpn has to change the vpn or close the vpn.
19:23 ping local hosts via wifi not lte?
Great resource, thanks for making this video!
Did that a few years back using openvpn. Used it for wifi security rather than accessing home network. Worked well, not looked at wireguard.
Hey, when the ping to NAS and gateway was made, it was on Wi-Fi, I suppose that’s why you reached websites and NAS, etc.
Unfortunately this doesn't work for me :( ! I followed all the tutorial and when I activate the VPN on my iPhone wireguard client, I still got the LTE icon on top and not the WIFI one.

nice video!! Did you know that Mikrotik's RouterOS v7.x it comes with WireGuard out of the Box? also OpenVPN and ZeroTier!. That could be a nice alternative
They do. I wonder if running WireGuard it on a raspberry pi is easier because of the processing power than a router.
I was just setting up WG and PiVPN last week. 😀
Thanks that helped me a lot !!! Greetings from Germany
Great video
Would the procedure for connecting an external router to pivpn be similar to the setup for a Windows client?
WG+Pi-Hole+Unbound is a great full setup.
I use that for the whole family.
Can pi hole run along side pi vpn.. Looking to get this done but am not sure if I'm wasting my time buying another pi to set up pivpn
