Looking for a VPN service to connect your remote home network?
Hello everyone! I'm looking for a simple way to resolve the IP assignment issue with OpenVPN on my ARM64 Jetson Nano. I'm planning to use the Nano as a VPN gateway for myself and a few friends to connect to my file server, while also allowing me to access my home network as if I were physically there. After trying OpenVPN Server and WireGuard without success, I've found it works well in a lab environment with pfSense. I need an easy-to-setup ARM64 Docker image that can be launched via Portainer. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks ahead.
OpenVPN is easy to configure and operate. If needed, I suggest trying to resolve any issues with your OpenVPN installation. I usually use TCP for the setup and WG for UDP, choosing the method that works best for me.
I see, you're looking for a simple Docker ARM64 image and want to launch it with Portainer. The issue you're facing is related to compatibility—some images aren't running on certain ARM devices like the Jetson Nano. You might find suitable images on platforms like Docker Hub or in community repositories that support ARM builds. Once you locate a compatible image, you can start it using Portainer as usual. Regarding the error you're seeing, it seems the system is rejecting the image for the device, which could be due to version mismatches or missing dependencies. Check the logs carefully and ensure the image version matches your requirements.
Wireguard is significantly simpler than OVPN. You just install it and set up a configuration file on your device. Running a VPN inside a container isn't straightforward—I think Docker networking adds complexity. Would you consider deploying it directly on the host instead?
The unusual aspect was that when I applied WireGuard Client certificate on my laptop and connected my mobile phone as an external internet source, WireGuard blocked my internet access entirely. This made it difficult for me to use WireGuard effectively, leaving me with little success and a frustrating experience.
WG client cert? Wireguard doesn't "use certs"... what do you mean? Wireguard uses keys. This is a random sample config from the interwebz: [Interface] Address = 192.168.2.1 PrivateKey = <server's privatekey> ListenPort = 51820 [Peer] PublicKey = <client's publickey> AllowedIPs = 192.168.2.2/32
I don't recall the name they used for WIreGuard. It seems WireGuard isn't functioning well in its Docker container setup. Since the Jetson Nano runs Xubuntu, I could try testing WIreGuard inside an Ubuntu VM to see if it works as a service before moving it to the actual device. OpenVPN Server also looked promising, though results may vary depending on compatibility.
I've tried both and found WireGuard simpler and faster—it uses less weight than OVPN. Either method works well; it depends on what suits you best. I'm wondering why WireGuard isn't functioning properly. Are ports being opened in your router?
