Redirect TCP traffic to a box behind NAT with Wireguard

Redirect TCP traffic to a box behind NAT with Wireguard

We have a web server on a box without direct access from the internet (e.g. behind a CGNAT). We want to use a box with a public IP address (such as a cheap VPS) as a gateway that will redirect HTTP traffic to the web server. We will setup a Wireguard VPN to enable bidirectional traffic between both boxes, as well as a few routing/NAT rules to redirect HTTP traffic.

Setup

Install Wireguard and wg-quick on both boxes: https://www.wireguard.com/install/

GNOME: Use alternative notification service

GNOME: Use alternative notification service

The GNOME-Shell process hosts its own notification service, which makes it a bit tricky to use a different one. The following hacks worked fine for GNOME 3.26.

Instructions

Find and install a notification daemon that is able to steal the notification bus name from GNOME-Shell, and make it start with the session. I used the daemon from the notification-daemon package with the --replace parameter. I start the daemon from an infinite loop because it exits after a few minutes of inactivity. To use the same setup as mine, copy notification-daemon.desktop into ~/.config/autostart/.

If your notifications daemon only implements the org.freedesktop.Notifications D-BUS interface, you need to prevent GNOME-Shell to own the org.gtk.Notifications bus name.
