Thanks for putting this together! I have had issues with deploying Wireguard in docker ever since I got into HomeLabbing. I setup a Proxmox LXC and ran the script to install pi-vpn and it worked the first time without a lot of fuss. Glad to have this going now. I may be able to get rid of Tailscale once I get time to test this outside my network later on. Thanks again!
Can we use pi hole + unbound + fake vpn location (even if there is not really a vpn) ? I just need the vpn part to be fakely located to us to unlock netflix content
Hi Thank you for this clear explanation of PIVPN. I have a PI 3 and want to install WireGuard VPN on it as explained in your video. The problem is that I am using a 5G Huawei router and despite configuring open port, no ports get open. I think my ISP isn’t allowing this feature through. Is there a workaround to this restriction? I need to have sone sort of workaround so I can get to my home cameras remotely. I am using Blue IRIS NVR on Windows. Blue IRIS comes with built in public IP on its Web Server part, but it requires a port be opened.
WireGuard only works with the UDP protocol, just like any other VPN. There's a technical reason that you can look up, but in short TCP works way slower and prone to errors when we're dealing with VPNs.
Great content! Thank you! Q: Is this the same type of VPN as the one we would get from NordVPN, Avast VPN or any other VPN software? What is the difference? Thanks.
Similar concept. With those paid services, there are a few features that you get such as being able to appear in many different locations. With this VPN, you are connecting to your home network, or whatever network you set this up in.
I cannot use iPhone traffic thru WireGuard VPN ! Port forwarded is working and I can access home network but unable to use WireGuard in my iPhone.Any idea ?
Thanks very much. How does Wireguard compare to NordVPN which I have now on the house computers? And on our phones and tablets too. Other than the cost of course. Like say I want to spoof a UK ip address to watch ITV videos. How would I do that with Wireguard? Cheers!
The main thing to know is that this solution requires you to have your own hardware and network. This doesn't allow you to spoof a UK IP. You can have a UK IP if you know someone in the UK that can put the Raspberry Pi in their house with the VPN software installed. NordVPN is a cloud based solution. All their hardware is in different parts of the world, which allow you to make it look like you are in a different location. If you're looking to mainly to make it look like you're in a different location, then don't use this solution. This solution is if you're not at home (or the location you put the RaspberryPi) and you want to connect to your home network.

Finally I can play cool math games unblocked to school.

hi, did you figure it out? I'm having trouble with my 5G ZTE router
Why do you need to use udp protocol and not tcp? Are we prioritizing speed versus quality?
WireGuard only works with the UDP protocol, just like any other VPN. There's a technical reason that you can look up, but in short TCP works way slower and prone to errors when we're dealing with VPNs.

Can this be used to make a travel router or would it be better to use Rasp ap
Thank you! great video.
You should just complete the setup of the Raspberry Pi Router video Part 2. There was a VPN install which you skipped.
What if I can’t download wiregaurd onto my work laptop? Is there an alternative?
You’ll probably have to use openVPN.

In your WireGuard configuration… make sure to allow all internet traffic. Make sure the “Allowed IPs” is set to “0.0.0.0/0, ::/0”.
Hello sir can you help me. I will create vpn server for internet using my home internet in outside can I use internet of home in outside ? Plz help me

@@EverydayTechTV Gotcha. Thanks. 73
Thank you sir
Can I run this on the same pi as pi hole?
What can I do if I have a trigger port?
Will it work with dynamic IP
is it possible to install this way in a Pi already running Adguard?
Yup. You just have to make sure they are not running on the same port. If they are then you’ll just have to adjust the port of one of the services.
does this work on CGANT
Did not work. No internet on RPI after installing VPN.
Did open the port on your router
So this does not mask your IP ?
You still be using your home ip adress ?
Yes
Use this command for updating: sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade - y
Agreed. And I just learned recently that the -y means that will say yes to any prompts automatically. Hehe. Learning things everyday.
didn't care much for this video. rushed through some of the main setup parts.
