WireGuard Site-to-Site

Accessing a subnet that is behind a WireGuard client using a site-to-site setup

Problem Summary

We want to access a local subnet remotely, but it is behind a NAT firewall and we can't setup port forwarding. Outgoing connections work, but all incoming connections get DROPPED by the ISP's routing policy.

Widdershin

In the olden days, HTML was prepared by the server, and JavaScript was little more than a garnish, considered by some to have a soapy taste.

After a fashion, it was decided that sometimes our HTML is best rendered by JavaScript, running in a user's browser. While some would decry this new-found intimacy, the age of interactivity had begun.

But all was not right in the world. Somewhere along the way, we had slipped. Our pages went uncrawled by Bing, time to first meaningful paint grew faster than npm, and it became clear: something must be done.

And so it was decided that the applications first forged for the browser would also run on the server. We would render our HTML using the same logic on the server and the browser, and reap the advantages of both worlds. In a confusing series of events a name for this approach was agreed upon: Server-side rendering. What could go wrong?

In dark rooms, in hushed tones, we speak of colours.
