I want to move away from Cloudflare tunnels, so I rented a cheap VPS from Hetzner and tried to follow this guide. Unfortunately, the WireGuard setup didn’t work. I’m trying to forward all traffic from the VPS to my homeserver and vice versa. Are there any other ways to solve this issue?

VPS Info:

OS: Debian 12

Architecture: ARM64 / aarch64

RAM: 4 GB

Traffic: 20 TB

    Iptables is the low level mechanism that handles network routing. Firewall software just takes it up a layer so you can manage it without crazy long commands

      Alright, sounds good. What firewall are you recommending me to use? I would like to use a firewall that’s easy to manage.

      Edit: I went with ufw.

        Sorry I didn’t mean you should go out and create a firewall. (Although that’s a good idea) I mean there is a issue with either your connectivity or your Wireguard config.
